155mm Modular Artillery for Combat Effectiveness (MACE)
Solicitation # W15QKN26R1C5R
The 155mm Modular Artillery for Combat Effectiveness (MACE) program is a solicitation issued by the U.S. Army Contracting Command Rock Island at Picatinny to develop a manufacturable cargo-carrying artillery projectile system. This effort is being conducted via a Prototype Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) under 10 U.S.C. 4022, with the government intending to award up to two agreements. The project is divided into two phases: Phase I focuses on projectiles with a range of 30 to 35 km, while Phase II targets ranges beyond 35 km. The ultimate goal is to support a Milestone C production decision by the fourth quarter of FY29, with potential follow-on production of up to 10,000 systems per year. The procurement process has been refined through several amendments, most notably Amendment 0005, which corrected schedule discrepancies by aligning milestones to relative durations after award and updating the Statement of Work and CLIN Matrix. Proposals are due by October 30, 2026, and must be submitted via SAM.gov in four distinct volumes. Evaluation is based on schedule and technical merit, with schedule being the primary factor for Phase I and technical capability being the primary factor for Phase II, alongside cost and price. Technical requirements specify compatibility with M777A2 and M109A7 39-caliber weapon platforms, as well as legacy propellant systems. Deliverables include various quantities of engineering, safety, and soldier testing projectiles, as well as critical design reviews and technical reports.
