The U.S. Army awarded a single award indefinite delivery contract to Armtec Defense Products Co. as the prime contractor for the production of Modular Artillery Charge System (MACS) M231/M232-series Combustible Case Assemblies in support of 155mm propelling charges. The contract has a potential value of $899.3 million over five years to procure these combustible case assemblies, which are key components that enable automated handling and loading of 155mm artillery munitions.
Under this contract vehicle, the Army has issued multiple delivery orders to Armtec for firm fixed price requirements. Notable orders include a $294.5 million order in September 2023 for Ukraine support, a $20.6 million order in March 2022, and a $24.7 million order in March 2021. Work on these orders is being performed by Armtec in Coachella, California through completion dates ranging from February 2024 to June 2026. The original pre-solicitation notice indicated the Army's intent to award this IDV on a sole source basis to Armtec, as the only responsible source able to provide combustible case assemblies meeting requirements for the MACS 155mm propelling charge system.
