The Department of the Army, through the Program Executive Office for Ammunition, awarded an $8.4 billion single-award indefinite delivery contract to Olin Winchester LLC, a division of Olin Corporation, for the production of small caliber ammunition (5.56mm, 7.62mm, .50 caliber, .22 caliber) and the operation, maintenance, and modernization of the Lake City Army Ammunition Plant in Sugar Creek, Missouri. The contract, which has a performance period from 2019 through 2029, does not have any set-aside designations, indicating that Olin Winchester competes for these awards in the open market as a large business.
Through multiple firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursable delivery orders issued under the main contract, Olin Winchester will manufacture a variety of small caliber ammunition products, including specialized rounds such as the M62A1 tracer and XM1201 One-Way Luminescent (OWL) Tracer, as well as perform facility improvement projects at the Lake City plant. The contract supports the Army's small arms weapon systems and training needs, with annual production quantities ranging from 540 to 640 million rounds. Olin Winchester, as the sole awardee, will leverage its expertise in high-rate ammunition production and large plant operations to fulfill the government's requirements.
