The Army Contracting Command-Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA) which is the headquarters for six contracting offices recently posted a solicitation for weapons storage racks, complete with a modern drawing package set-aside for a small business to manufacture the items.
ACC-DTA procures systems and repair parts for their customers such as PEO Soldier, PEO Ammo and PEO Ground Combat Systems. They buy a myriad of items consisting of things like Armaments, Sets, kits, outfits and tools.
The U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command at Picatinny Arsenal also known as DEVCOM, was the Design Activity that created this drawing package for the M14 Small Arms Storage Rack. The Army part number is 13103376 with listed NSN 1095-01-236-2203 under Army CAGE code 19200.
This Weapons Storage Rack has been in use for over 35 years, new CAD drawings were recently created, some a just few months ago. This can be a sign for a few things: 1. The Army is making a concerted effort seeking competition by creating readable drawings for an old item. 2. Potentially buying this item for a long time into the future (agencies usually don’t spend time and money updating drawings for nothing) 3. Trying to attract new manufacturers, as old or incomplete drawings do not.
We reviewed a few of these modern drawings for this tack welded metal weapon storage rack. The drawings are available as PDFs and .STP, .ASM .PRT files are included. This could be a perfect fit for a manufacturer of steel cabinets looking to expand their business with the Department of Defense.
The last contract action we show was to XACT TOOL in 2017 exercising an option to buy a quantity of 84 “M14 Small Arms Storage Racks M14 (9mm) Pistols” under contract number SPRDL117P031 for a total of $52,500.00.
