M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) FY27-30

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal is procuring recapitalization and upgrade services for the M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) for fiscal years 2027 through 2031. The contract will encompass fleet upgrade requirements, spare parts kits, and support for both U.S. Army and international program needs, with services to be performed under a public-private partnership model at Red River Army Depot (RRAD). This is a non-competitive procurement being conducted under Title 10 U.S.C. 2304(a)(1) and Title 41 U.S.C. 3304(a)(1), justified on the basis that only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements due to proprietary technical data and qualification complexities. The government lacks sufficient technical data rights to provide all necessary documentation to prospective offerors and does not expect to recover the costs of obtaining these rights through competitive sourcing savings. The pre-solicitation notice was posted on March 17, 2026, with a deadline of April 2, 2026 for capability statements or other submissions; however, this notice is provided for informational purposes only and is not a formal request for proposals.

This procurement carries no set-aside designation and is anticipated to be awarded to Lockheed Martin Missiles & Fire Control (CAGE Code 64059) located in Grand Prairie, Texas, identified as the sole responsible source. The contract will support the recapitalization and upgrade of up to 55 M270 launchers annually over the five-year period, with government-furnished property including the M270, Improved Armored Cab (IAC), engine, and transmission components. The scope includes procurement of spare parts kits as needed throughout the contract period, with technical data acquisition and source qualification activities expected to be performed by Lockheed Martin. While specific contract values are not disclosed in this pre-solicitation notice, the multi-year nature of the effort across five fiscal years and the substantial annual launcher upgrade volume indicate a significant defense procurement. The classified NAICS code is 336414 (Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing), and the PSC category is 1440 (Launchers, Guided Missile).
