A5/7 Affordable Mass Munitions

This is a Request for Information (RFI) titled A5/7 Affordable Mass Munitions, issued by the Department of Defense under the office FA7014 Afdw Pk at Andrews AFB, Maryland, with a place of performance in Washington, D.C. The RFI seeks industry input on low-cost, mass-producible, long-range precision strike systems defined as International Affordable Mass Munitions, targeting production scales of 1,000 or more units annually with capabilities to operate in contested logistics environments, including in-theater manufacturing and forward assembly to reduce reliance on CONUS-based supply chains. The systems must meet technical benchmarks including a minimum range of 250 nautical miles, speed of at least Mach 0.6, accuracy within 10 meters CEP, and GPS-denied navigation functionality. Interoperability through open architectures like WOSA and GRA is essential, with emphasis on modular, plug-and-play design to enable allied integration. Vendors are asked to describe their production scalability, surge capacity within 12–24 months of additional investment, and ability to relocate manufacturing capabilities. Export control status must be disclosed, including ITAR classification and whether the system was designed with exportability in mind, alongside assessments of international collaboration potential and experience with allied co-production efforts such as ERAM-type initiatives. This solicitation is structured as a Total Small Business Set-Aside under FAR 19.5, limited exclusively to small businesses, and is identified under NAICS code 336414. It is not a formal solicitation for award and contains no binding contract clauses, pricing schedules, delivery terms, or inspection requirements. Instead, it is a market research tool aimed at gathering capabilities, production timelines, cost structures, and logistical feasibility from industry to inform future acquisition strategies. Respondents must complete two questionnaires—one general and one sector-specific—that cover system design, cost data, technical performance, export compliance, and international production potential. Administrative requirements include vendor identification, point of contact details, and system classification. The response deadline is June 20, 2026, and while no contract value or award amount is indicated, the information collected will directly guide the development of a procurement strategy for affordable, scalable, and allied-compatible munitions systems. No packaging, marking, or submission format specifications are provided beyond the requirement to respond to the questionnaires, and submissions will inform future contracting actions without creating any obligation on the part of the government.
