About this program
The M109A2/A3 155mm Self-Propelled Howitzer Improvement Program (SPHIP) is a Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) designated as Acquisition Category IC operating under the Major Capability Acquisition pathway. The program focuses on improvements and sustainment of the M109 155mm self-propelled artillery system, a core component of U.S. Army artillery capabilities. The program operates through the systematic procurement of replacement parts, components, and subsystems to maintain and enhance howitzer functionality.
The contract awards from 2006 through 2014 primarily consisted of firm-fixed-price delivery orders and purchase orders for specialized components including centrifugal fans, electro-mechanical actuators, telescope fixtures, and various mechanical parts such as bushings, bearings, and cable assemblies. Contract values ranged from under $1,000 for basic components to approximately $500,000 for complex electro-mechanical systems, with typical performance periods of 12-18 months. The majority of contracts were designated as Total Small Business set-asides, suggesting a strong reliance on small business suppliers. Awards were predominantly issued through the Army Contracting Command with deliveries often specified to New Cumberland, Pennsylvania. Individual contract awards were relatively modest in size, indicating a strategy of incremental component procurement rather than large-scale system replacements.
