The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Picatinny Arsenal awarded multiple indefinite delivery contracts to General Dynamics Ordnance & Tactical Systems, Inc. to provide medium caliber non-recurring engineering support from November 2020 to November 2025. The original solicitation sought proposals for contracts valued at $49 million each to obtain engineering, testing, evaluation, training models, design and production support for medium caliber ammunition systems measuring 20mm to 50mm. Relevant systems included 20mm x 102mm, 25mm x 137mm, 30mm x 113mm, 30mm x 173mm, and others. Delivery orders to date have included the analysis of ballistics data from XM950 and XM1198 weapons using 42-inch and 60-inch gun barrels, as well as minimum guarantee obligations. Place of performance encompasses the contractor's facility in Marion, Illinois.

This enables flexible and timely response to research and development requirements while reducing risks from supplier reliance. The open-ended nature of the vehicle provides a means to efficiently order tailored engineering support spanning the design, qualification, and production of ammunition as needs emerge across the five-year period of performance.
