AI Contract Overview

The U.S. Army Contracting Command – New Jersey, acting on behalf of the Office of the Project Manager, Maneuver Ammunition Systems, is conducting a market survey to identify industry sources capable of developing a 50mm weapon-based Air Defense Counter-Unmanned Aircraft System to defeat Class 1, 2, and 3 UAS threats. Respondents must demonstrate existing or conceptual capabilities to integrate a 50x228mm ammunition solution with a capable fire control and sensor architecture for effective tracking, engagement, and neutralization of hostile drones. The government may provide a loan of one XM913 50mm cannon assembly, required quantities of 50mm ammunition, necessary technical data and interfaces, and access to a test facility for a live-fire demonstration, though no performance specifications or technical data will be provided at this stage. Companies must submit detailed descriptions of their C-UAS system architecture, proposed sensor and fire control integration, a draft test or demonstration plan, and a comprehensive timeline for design, integration, and delivery of a system ready for live-fire evaluation. Responses must include company name, CAGE code, point of contact information, business size classification, and whether the respondent intends to participate as a prime or subcontractor. Subcontractors must meet the same manufacturing and technical resource criteria as the prime contractor. All submissions must be received by 3 PM EST on August 31, 2026, via email to the designated government points of contact. Companies are required to identify any proprietary information and must have the majority of skills and facilities necessary to manufacture the system or demonstrate the ability to obtain them within a reasonable timeframe. To facilitate future access to restricted technical data, respondents are encouraged but not required to complete and submit the AMSTA-AR Form 1350 and DD Form 2345 prior to any formal solicitation. Full compliance with U.S./Canada Joint Certification Office registration, NIST assessment documentation in SPRS, and completion of DoD export control training is mandatory for entities seeking access to controlled technical data in the future, along with export licensing for foreign subcontractors. This effort is strictly a market survey and does not oblige the government to issue a solicitation or compensate respondents for their submissions.

The Government encourages interested parties to request a follow-up teleconference to further discuss the technical details and mission requirements. Please coordinate all teleconference requests through both listed points of contact no later than August 24, 2026, at 3:00 PM EST.

*Performance Specifications or Technical Data:

AT THIS TIME, NO PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATIONS OR TECHNICAL DATA WILL BE PROVIDED. In the event that the United States Government (USG) establishes a formal requirement for the 50mm CUAS system, relevant information will be distributed to support the effort at that time.

To expedite future access, the USG invites interested parties to proactively submit a completed AMSTA-AR Form 1350 and an active DD Form 2345 (Militarily Critical Technical Data Agreement) now. Completing these security steps ahead of time will ensure the seamless distribution of restricted data if a formal requirement materializes.

Please note: Providing these forms at this stage is strictly optional. Submissions without an accompanying AMSTA-AR Form 1350 or DD Form 2345 are fully acceptable and will not disqualify a company's response to this market survey.

In the event the Government releases technical data with Limited Distribution Technical Data (only if this action materializes into a formal requirement) (i.e. anything other than Distribution A), Requests for the performance specification shall be submitted in writing using AMSTA-AR Form 1350 Technical Data Request Questionnaire (attached) along with a signed DD 2345 Military Critical Technical Data Agreement form (attached).

Offerors should submit their certification via DD Form 2345 or register immediately. In order to provide the data to foreign subcontractors, offerors must apply for an export license. An offeror's delay in applying for DD 2345 certification or an export license will not be a basis to extend the closing date of any future request for proposal.

If your company does not have a signed DD 2345 Military Critical Technical Data Agreement Form, then before submitting your company’s JCP Certification Request or DLA Enhanced Validation Request to JCP directly, please make sure the following items have been completed:

1. Complete SAM registration and ensure that all your CAGE information is correct and active at https://sam.gov/content/home.

2. Your NIST assessment results must be documented in the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) at https://www.sprs.csd.disa.mil/.

3. Review and complete the Introduction to Proper Handling of DoD Export- Controlled Technical Data.

a. Export Control Compliance Training for all Data Custodians and Alternate Data Custodians who require access to DoD Unclassified Export Controlled Technical Data. Please review and complete Page 15 of the attached Introduction to Proper Handling of DoD Export-Controlled Technical Data Training Course. Once completed, print Page 15, “Certification Statement of Export Control Compliance,” and attach the certificate to your JCP Application.

4. Provide all information required for "What do you do" (Block 4, Business Activities, of the DD2345 certificate). See the help symbol "?" for instructions. Keep your statements brief as space is limited. If all required information is not provided, your incomplete application will be returned in the JCP Portal.

If you have any questions or concerns related to your DD2345 submission, please do not hesitate to email Sign up to see this detail
