the IPT had to develop the economic price adjustment (EPA) requirements.
Small Business Awards There were two systems contracts awarded, one to AMTEC Corp. and one to DSE Inc. Both contractors are considered small businesses, and the combined award was $56 million with a potential to grow to $3.8 billion if all options are exercised in full. Each contract is for a base period with five option periods, is firm-fixed-price (FFP), and contains EPA clauses for alumi- num, steel, and zinc.
The 40mm cartridge family systems acquisition was a 100- percent small business set-aside. It represents 68.7 percent of ASC’s small business FY10 projected total dollar awards. It also represents 9.8 percent of ASC’s 15 percent goal of total FY10 U.S. business base dollar awards to small businesses.
Additional Small Business Awards RICC had previously awarded contracts for components sup- porting the 40mm cartridge family systems. The M385A1 Projectile Assembly is a component for the M385A1 Practice Cartridge, and the M918 Projectile Assembly is a compo- nent for the M918 Target Practice. Both projectile assemblies are provided as government-furnished material under the 40mm systems contracts. The procurements for the projectile

assemblies were restricted to 8(a) set-aside. The resultant con- tracts were FFP with EPA for a base period and four option periods. Avasar Corp. and GTI Systems Inc. received contracts for the M385A1 Projectile Assembly valued at $8.1 million combined (including base and option periods). Elite CNC Machining Inc. and GTI Systems Inc. received contracts for the M918 Projectile Assembly valued at $30.5 million combined (including base and option periods). These procurements repre- sent 31.9 percent of ASC’s small disadvantaged business FY10 projected total dollar awards. They also represent 1.2 percent of ASC’s 3.8 percent goal of total FY10 U.S. business base dollar awards to small disadvantaged businesses.
Looking ahead, RICC continues to partner with its supported commands to achieve the Army’s small business goals.
