Guns, Over 150Mm Through 200Mm

Product and Service Code (PSC) 1025 covers guns and artillery systems with calibers over 150mm through 200mm, specifically focusing on large-caliber weaponry used by military forces. These components include critical subsystems such as cannon tubes, breech mechanisms, firing pins, alignment devices, and various mechanical assemblies essential to heavy artillery platforms. The PSC encompasses both the manufacturing and sustainment of these sophisticated weapon systems, with a particular emphasis on towed and self-propelled howitzer equipment.

The federal contract awards under PSC 1025 predominantly feature BAE Systems GCS International LIMITED as a primary contractor, executing a $463 million Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with the U.S. Army's Program Executive Office (PEO) Ground Combat Systems. Awards typically range from $3,500 to over $6 million, with most focused on life cycle sustainment services for the M777A2 Medium Towed Howitzer used by the U.S., Canada, and Australia. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime frequently issues these awards, which are generally not set aside and performed at BAE's Anniston, Alabama facility. Contractors include both large defense companies and small businesses specializing in precision mechanical components.

Recent federal contract opportunities seek manufacturers for specialized artillery components such as cannon tubes, retaining ring assemblies, and digital fire control hardware. The Army Contracting Command at Picatinny Arsenal has posted market research notices for M776 155mm cannon tube manufacturing and M777 Digital Fire Control Hardware procurement. These opportunities target domestic manufacturers with specific technical capabilities, often requiring Joint Certification Program (JCP) approval and compliance with export control regulations. Most opportunities are open to both small and large businesses, with some designated as small business set-asides, and focus on producing critical components for military artillery systems.
