Quick Summary

The U.S. Army Contracting Command-New Jersey (ACC-NJ), on behalf of Project Manager Combat Ammunition Systems (PM CAS), is conducting a market survey to identify qualified sources within the National Technology and Industrial Base (NTIB) capable of manufacturing and delivering 155mm Artillery Metal Part Assemblies. This is for informational and planning purposes only and shall NOT be construed as a Request for Proposal (RFP); no contract will be awarded from this announcement. Responses are due by April 15, 2026.

Scope of Requirement

The market survey seeks manufacturers for four specific 155mm projectile metal parts:

  • M825A1 Artillery Projectile Body (approx. 36,000 over 5 years, 500/month minimum)
  • M116A1 Artillery Projectile Body (approx. 12,000 over 5 years, 500/month minimum)
  • M795 Projectile Metal Part Assembly (5,000/month minimum)
  • M1128 Projectile Metal Part Assembly (5,000/month minimum)

The requirement covers anticipated Fiscal Year (FY) 2028-2032 needs, with deliveries starting in FY2029. Manufacturers should demonstrate capabilities in forging, welding, heat treatment, non-destructive testing, and protective coatings. Contractor Furnished Material (CFM) includes Universal Lifting Plugs and Wood Pallets for some items.
