BACKGROUND: The Combat Capabilities Development Command Armaments Center (CCDC AC) utilizes and characterizes a wide range of materials, metallic and nonmetallic, ferrous and non-ferrous to fabricate hardware for prototype designs and Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) quantities. The increase in CCDC AC research and development (R&D) initiatives, and overseas mission requirements have placed additional demand to existing heat treat service suppliers currently used by the Manufacturing and Prototyping Technology Division (M&PTD). To maintain demanding R&D program schedules and production deliveries, qualified vendors must be ready available for manufacturing support.
SCOPE: Provide specialized heat treat services to support the manufacturing of prototype and production hardware in the support of US Army CCDC AC M&PTD.
