The U.S. Army Joint Munitions & Lethality Life Cycle Management Command will be conducting a Non-Standard Ammunition Industry Day 21 - 22 October 2008 at The Lodge Hotel in Bettendorf, IA. Industry Day will start at 0830 CDT on 21 October 2008, with on-site registration beginning at 0730 CDT. The definition of Non-Standard Ammunition (NSA) for the purposes of this industry day is ammunition that has not been safety tested and type classified for U.S. Army use and cannot be procured through the Army supply system. The NSA items are primarily for use in non-U.S. weapon systems. This announcement should not be construed as a Request for Proposal or a commitment by the U.S. Government. The U.S. Government does not intend to award a contract on the basis of this Industry Day. Should the U.S. Government have a future requirement to procure NSA, a formal announcement will be published on the Federal Business Opportunities website. The first day of Industry Day (21 October 2008) will include briefings and presentations on the following: (1) overview of NSA; (2) current and future requirements; (3) proposed methodology for the procurement of NSA; and (4) NSA functional areas (e.g. Technical Data, Safety, Security, etc.). Your feedback to our proposed methodology will be desired and should include identification of existing NSA technical data. The latter portion of the first day and the entire second day (22 October 2008) will be utilized to conduct one-on-one meetings with individuals/companies, at the individual request.
