The M734A1 Multi-Option and M783 Point Detonating/Delay Mortar Fuze Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is a U.S. Army procurement vehicle for manufacturing specialized mortar fuzes. These fuzes are designed for 60mm, 81mm, and 120mm high explosive (HE) and white phosphorous smoke cartridges, with the M734A1 offering four selectable functions including proximity height of burst settings, impact, and delay modes.

All current task orders have been awarded without specific small business set-aside designations, indicating full and open competition. Performance locations include manufacturing facilities in Cincinnati, Ohio and Bristol, Pennsylvania. The contract supports the U.S. Army's Program Executive Office Ammunition and enables flexible, multi-year procurement of critical mortar fuze components.
