About this opportunity
The U.S. Army Contracting Command-New Jersey at Picatinny Arsenal is issuing Solicitation W15QKN-25-R-0049 on behalf of the Project Manager Combat Ammunition Systems for the manufacture and delivery of three types of gasket-sealed rectangular metal containers: PA154, PA157, and PA191. These containers serve as outer packaging for various mortar cartridges, with PA154 supporting 120mm smoke and illumination cartridges (holding two cartridges), PA157 supporting 81mm cartridges (holding three cartridges), and PA191 supporting 60mm cartridges (holding eight cartridges). The manufacturing process involves stamping sheet steel using presses and dies to form container hardware components including body ribs, hasps, latches, and gasket retainers. Amendment 0001 modified the First Article Test (FAT) requirements from 120/90 days to 240/120 days for initial and additional FAT respectively. The solicitation deadline has been extended to July 28, 2025, at 3:00 PM EST, with Technical Data Packages available upon request through DoD Safe.
This procurement opportunity does not utilize any set-aside designation and is open to all qualified contractors. The contract structure is firm fixed price for supply contracts and priced orders, with delivery orders issued as required subject to available funding. Production requirements specify that contractors must deliver initial test samples within 240 days for initial FAT and 120 days for additional FAT after delivery order award, followed by production capacity of 5,000 containers per month for each container type within 90 days after FAT approval. The contract period covers anticipated Army production requirements for fiscal years 2024 through 2028. While specific contract values are not disclosed in the available documentation, the multi-year timeline and substantial monthly production requirements suggest this is a significant procurement opportunity for the defense manufacturing sector.
