155MM Artillery All (Excluding Sadarm)

The 155mm Artillery All (Excluding SADARM) program is a Department of Defense acquisition initiative focused on artillery systems and ammunition in the 155mm category, specifically excluding Sense and Destroy Armor (SADARM) munitions. Based on the program documentation and contract history, this appears to be a long-term artillery procurement and development effort managed through the U.S. Army Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center. The program encompasses both research and development activities as well as production components related to 155mm artillery systems.

The program has been supported through multiple large-scale contracts, including a significant Research, Development, Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) contract awarded to Raytheon TI Systems Inc. in Lewisville, Texas valued at over $442 million, and a production contract for ammunition awarded to Mason & Hanger Corporation in Middletown, Iowa worth approximately $19.3 million. The contracts utilize varied pricing structures, including both cost-plus-incentive and firm-fixed-price arrangements, with performance periods extending from the late 1990s through the early 2010s. No small business set-asides were employed in the reviewed contracts, with both being awarded on a full and open competition basis. The U.S. Army Armament RD&E Center serves as the primary contracting activity, with work performed primarily in Texas and Iowa facilities.
