Load, Assembly and Pack of 60mm, 81mm, 120mm Full Range Practice Cartridges

The Department of the Army established a Master IDIQ on May 26, 2023, for load, assembly, and pack of 60mm, 81mm, and 120mm full-range practice cartridges (FRPC) with a shared ceiling of $132.7 million and a last date to order of May 26, 2028 — approximately 1 year 10 months of ordering authority remaining. The vehicle is unrestricted; no set-aside applies.

Eight task orders have been awarded since vehicle establishment, with ordering momentum declining: four orders in 2023, two in 2024, and two in 2025 (most recent September 8, 2025). All $30.6 million of combined task-order potential value has been obligated. Competition is concentrated among three primes: Nammo Pocal Inc. holds four orders worth $13.8 million combined potential value, Canadian Commercial Corporation holds two orders worth $13.3 million, and Day & Zimmermann Kansas LLC holds two orders worth $3.5 million. Ordering is heavily concentrated on the Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Ammunition, which accounts for five orders worth $30.5 million; the Department of the Army accounts for the remaining three orders worth $100 thousand.

Task orders fund manufacturing and delivery of cartridge types by caliber. The two largest recent awards to Canadian Commercial Corporation are a $13.3 million order (obligated September 8, 2025, ultimate completion October 31, 2030) for 120mm M931 FRPC production including first article test, and an $8.1 million order (obligated August 26, 2025, ultimate completion September 30, 2028) for 60mm M769 and 81mm M879A1 FRPC production. Earlier orders by Nammo Pocal and Day & Zimmermann Kansas LLC for 60mm and 81mm variants obligated in 2023 and 2024 have completion dates in 2026 and 2028. Pricing is firm fixed price across all orders. Two minimal minimum guarantees of $50 thousand each were obligated at vehicle establishment to Day & Zimmermann Kansas LLC and Canadian Commercial Corporation; Nammo Pocal's minimum guarantee was subsequently deobligated.

The market survey preceding award indicated the government intended to award up to three IDIQs (one per cartridge caliber) and required offerors to demonstrate production capacity of at least 15,000 cartridges per month per caliber, develop production processes and sample cartridges within 180 days of award, and achieve production delivery initiation within 270 days.
