The Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal is seeking 22 Rotary Forge Preforms for 155mm M284 Cannon, specifically per Drawing #11579755 Rev A. This competitive negotiated procurement requires potential contractors to have active System for Award Management (SAM) and Joint Certification Program (JCP) registrations to access technical documentation. Contractors must be prepared to provide first article testing (CLIN 0001) or first article waiver (CLIN 0002), with specific delivery requirements including seven units within 150 days of contract award if testing is required. The solicitation includes a 10% HUBZone price evaluation preference and is limited to U.S., Puerto Rico, and Canadian sources due to export control restrictions. Proposals are due by 2:30 PM local time on March 4, 2025, with the government intending to make a single award for this contract opportunity.

The contract will be performed in Watervliet, New York, within the Iron and Steel Forging (NAICS 332111) category, specifically for Guns Over 150Mm Through 200Mm (PSC 1025). Production quantities are expected to begin 60 days after first article approval, with a minimum delivery rate of 7 units per month if first article testing is required. Without first article testing, initial deliveries will commence 180 days after contract award. All work must be performed at the same facility for both first article and production units. While no specific set-aside has been designated, the solicitation emphasizes the importance of maintaining active certifications and meeting strict technical specifications for the precision-manufactured preforms used in military cannon manufacturing.
