This document is a Justification and Approval (J&A) for Other than Full and Open Competition for the procurement of the M829A4 120mm Armor Piercing, Fin Stabilized, Discarding Sabot with Tracer (APFSDS-T) Cartridge. The U.S. Army Contracting Command - New Jersey is seeking a five-year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with Firm Fixed Price Delivery Orders for tank ammunition production, with a total estimated contract value of $706,475,428.92.

The procurement is being limited to sources within the U.S., its outlying areas, or Canada to protect domestic industrial base capabilities for 120mm tank ammunition production. The contract will cover multiple components including the cartridge, projectiles, primers, combustible cartridge cases, and Load, Assemble and Pack (LAP) services. Competition was restricted to maximize potential offerors while mitigating risks associated with maintaining critical manufacturing capabilities for military ammunition. The contract is anticipated to be awarded in the 3rd quarter of FY24, with production years covering 6-10, and will serve as a systems contract to coordinate complex technical requirements for the M829A4 Cartridge.
