AI Contract Overview
The 155mm Modular Artillery for Combat Effectiveness (MACE) program is a prototype project issued by the Army Contracting Command-Rock Island at Picatinny under the authority of 10 U.S.C. § 4022. The objective is to develop and qualify 155mm cargo-carrying artillery projectile prototypes featuring interchangeable lethal and non-lethal payload capabilities. These projectiles must be compatible with M777A2 and M109A7 howitzers, deliver effects at ranges of 30 km to 35 km when fired from 39-caliber systems, and maintain a standard interface for existing qualified fuzes. The government intends to award up to two Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs) to performers capable of establishing a resilient, scalable domestic manufacturing base. The project is structured in two phases, with Phase I focusing primarily on schedule and Phase II emphasizing technical performance. Key deliverables include the production of up to 115 projectiles for engineering tests, 335 for limited safety tests, and up to 1,200 IPB prototypes. To be eligible, at least one nontraditional defense contractor or nonprofit research institution must participate significantly, and at least one third of the total project cost must be funded by non-federal sources. Proposals are due by October 30, 2026, and must be submitted via SAM.gov in specific volumes, with strict page limits and formatting requirements. Access to sensitive technical data packages requires the submission of a non-disclosure agreement, a technical data request questionnaire, and a military critical technical data agreement.
