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 award up to two prototype Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs) under 10 U.S.C. 4022. The objective is to develop a manufacturable, cargo-carrying 155mm artillery projectile system with extended range capabilities. The project is structured in two phases: Phase I focuses on projectiles achieving a range of 30 to 35 km, while Phase II targets ranges exceeding 35 km. The prototypes must be compatible with M777A2 and M109A7 platforms and maintain standard interfaces for existing qualified fuzes. Successful prototype development may lead to a follow-on production contract with a potential capacity of up to 10,000 systems per year. The procurement process has undergone several amendments to align schedules, clarify technical requirements, and extend the proposal submission deadline to November 30, 2026. Key updates include the introduction of dedicated Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) line items and the alignment of milestones to relative durations after award. Proposals are evaluated based on schedule and technical factors, with schedule being the primary driver for Phase I and technical merit for Phase II, alongside cost/price considerations. Offerors must provide detailed cost-plus-fixed-fee proposals and certify their business status, specifically regarding eligibility as nontraditional defense contractors. Deliverables include engineering and safety test projectiles, design reviews, and technical reports, with final acceptance occurring at the contractor's facility.
