About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Picatinny Arsenal seeks development of 155mm Modular Artillery for Combat Effectiveness (MACE) prototype systems, with proposals due October 30, 2026. The solicitation is unrestricted and operates under a Prototype Project Opportunity Notice (PPON) vehicle.
Under 10 U.S.C. 4022(d) eligibility, teams may include large traditional businesses if at least one non-traditional defense contractor or nonprofit research institution participates significantly, or alternatively all significant participants may be small businesses or non-traditional contractors. Technical performance and evaluation criteria are contained in the PPON and attachments; the revised Statement of Work (Attachment 25, dated October 6) and CLIN Matrix (Attachment 24, dated October 6) establish the definitive baseline for all milestone schedules and delivery dates, measured in months after agreement award. Contractors must design survivable and aerodynamically stable projectiles that maximize range and cargo capacity without Government-furnished interface drawings for cargo systems. Full-up rounds with installed cargo payloads are the contractor's responsibility in Phase I, with payloads either Government Furnished Property or mass simulants. M762 fuzes will be provided at USG test sites. Detailed unit cost estimates must be supported by executable material quotes rather than rough orders of magnitude. Ammunition Data Cards must accompany prototype deliverables. Contractors may conduct expulsion charge testing independently or arrange separate USG facility support.
Sensitive technical data including the Purchase Description (Attachment 8) and Packing and Unitization Drawings (Attachment 9) require execution of the Technical Data Request Questionnaire (Attachment 12), Non-Disclosure and Non-US Agreement (Attachment 6), and DD2345 Military Critical Technical Data Agreement (Attachment 14) for contracting approval before release. Amendment 0006 updated the question-and-answer document (Attachment 26, dated October 15); six additional TDP documents uploaded to SAM.gov are accessible to approved vendors. Basic Agreement years run FY 2027, FY 2028, and FY 2029.
