About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Contracting Command-New Jersey, on behalf of the Project Manager for Combat Ammunition Systems at Picatinny Arsenal, intends to issue a sole source contract modification for the manufacture, test, packaging, and delivery of 155mm M795 Metal Parts Assembly for artillery ammunition. The M795 Metal Parts are manufactured from high fragmentation steel alloy (HF-1), weigh approximately 75 pounds each, measure about 30 inches in length with a curved exterior, and feature a welded rotating band near the base. The parts undergo phosphating treatment and receive both internal cavity and exterior paint coatings, with lifting plugs and flexible covers installed for storage and transport purposes. This procurement is being conducted under the authority of 10 U.S.C.3204(c)(1) and FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii)(B) as a sole source acquisition, justified because only one responsible source can satisfy the agency's requirements. The due date for this pre-solicitation notice is September 19, 2025, though this announcement is for notification purposes only and does not constitute a formal Request for Proposal.
This procurement does not utilize any set-aside designations and will be awarded as a sole source modification to the current contractor, General Dynamics OTS (Wilkes Barre), LLC, located in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania. The contract modification will increase the existing contract ceiling by $15,000,000, raising the total ceiling value from $891,165,000 to $906,165,000 under the current contract W15QKN-19-D-0084. The modification is structured as a Firm Fixed Price arrangement and is intended to ensure adequate property management and production support at the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant, a Government Owned, Contractor Operated facility. The increased funding is necessary to support elevated production requirements at this defense manufacturing facility. The procurement falls under NAICS code 332993 for Ammunition Manufacturing and PSC category 1320 for Ammunition Over 125mm.
