Additionally, bidders must comply with all applicable technical orders and directives related to the remanufacturing process. Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent, with Chemring Energetic Devices awarded prior C-17 Arm Fire Initiator remanufacture contracts (e.g., FA821325C0021, $994,185; and FA821323C3024, $382,191) covering electrical/internal arm fire initiators and related initiator work. The prior performance described for these awards aligns closely with the current scope of disassembly, inspection/maintenance, reassembly, and testing of C-17 arm fire initiators to restore Government Furnished Property to serviceable condition. A related confirmed incumbent awardee, Pacific Scientific Energetic Materials Company, also performed an initiator remanufacture effort for C-17 cartridge initiators under FA821321C0017 ($155,647), suggesting continuity in the broader initiator remanufacturing workload.
