The solicitation does not identify any incumbent contractors or current providers for these shell bodies. The government guarantees a minimum of $6,000,000 to each awardee, with a maximum total contract value of $333,935,744 across both awards based on Fiscal Year 2025-2029 budgeted requirements and potentially subsequent fiscal years within the five-year contract period. Historical production averages indicate approximately 120,000 Full Range Practice Cartridges, 65,000 High Explosive shells, 9,000 Illuminating shells, and 18,000 Smoke shells per year, with delivery orders anticipated to be placed annually and a 270-day First Article delivery requirement.
