The procurement is a Prototype Project Opportunity Notice (PPON) with No Set-Aside Used. Per Amendment 0009, submissions go through the PIEE Proposal Manager Module at https://piee.eb.mil, not SAM.gov. Amendment 0007 moved the deadline from October 30, 2026 to November 30, 2026, and Amendment 0009 is the latest update.
Teaming eligibility under 10 U.S.C. 4022(d), as described in the Q&A summary, permits large traditional businesses only where at least one non-traditional defense contractor or nonprofit research institution participates significantly, or where all significant participants are small businesses or non-traditional contractors. Attachment 8 (Purchase Description) and Attachment 9 (Packing and Unitization Drawings) are released on request only after offerors execute Attachment 12 (Technical Data Request Questionnaire), Attachment 6 (Non-Disclosure and Non-US Agreement), and Attachment 14 (DD2345 Military Critical Technical Data Agreement) for contracting approval. Attachments 33 and 34 are controlled.
Technical requirements include contractor-designed survivable, aerodynamically stable projectiles, with no government-provided cargo-system interface drawings. Full-up Phase I rounds with installed cargo payloads are the contractor's responsibility, with payloads either government-furnished property or mass simulants. M762 fuzes are provided at USG test sites. Unit cost estimates must be supported by executable material quotes. Ammunition Data Cards must accompany prototype deliverables. USG configuration control begins after Critical Design Review.
Award is anticipated March 29, 2027, per Attachment 28. Schedule milestones are relative durations measured in months after agreement award. Attachments 28 (SOW), 29 (CLIN Matrix), 31 (CLIN Matrix), and 32 (SOW) form the definitive baseline for technical, IMS, and cost/price volumes. CLINs 0001A and 0014A represent initiation of Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE), with payment earned across interim milestones. The outside funding contribution schedule covers FY 2027 through FY 2029.
