The purpose of the modifications is to increase the total contract ceiling amount and to extend the contract expiration/period of performance.

The IDM provides fuze initiation delay based upon the completion of mechanical actions caused by projectile deceleration and will function immediately after passing through the target. In addition to the M739A1 PD/DLY Fuze, the M99 Stab Detonator, the M55 Stab Detonator, Explosive Lead, and Booster containing Polymer-Bonded Explosive (PBXN-5), are all contained within the Fuze. The modifications will be in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(3)(A), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii)(B), Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services will satisfy Agency Requirements.
