AI Contract Overview

Show more

The Department of Defense intends to award a 12 month firm-fixed-price bridge contract to Conco, Inc. for the production and delivery of approximately 9,000 M548 Metal Ammunition Containers. Valued at 616,964.60 dollars, this action ensures the continued availability of critical packaging for small and medium caliber ammunition used in combat and training operations. The contract mirrors the scope of a previous IDIQ agreement and is necessary to bridge the gap until a follow-on contract begins deliveries in September 2026. Conco, Inc. was selected as the only responsible source capable of meeting urgent delivery requirements in November 2025, January 2026, and April 2026. Other potential vendors were ruled out due to the 12 month lead time required for tooling modifications and first article testing. Because of the vendor's successful production history, the government has waived first article testing to avoid unacceptable delays. The performance of this contract will take place in Louisville, Kentucky.

Full Description

Show more

The Government intends to award a 12 month bridge contract to Conco, Inc., under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302 Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This action is for the production and delivery of approximately 9,000 M548 Metal Ammunition Containers, a critical packaging component for small and medium caliber ammunition used in training and combat operations. The bridge contract is necessary to ensure continued production and delivery of these containers until the anticipated follow-on contract is fully implemented.


The proposed contract will be a firm-fixed-price 12 month bridge contract that mirrors the scope of work previously performed under the expired Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contract W52P1J-20-D-0033 with Conco, Inc. The estimated value of this effort is $616,964.60.


The follow-on M548 Metal Ammunition Containers contract was awarded on September 25, 2025, with First Article Testing (FAT) due by June 23, 2026, and deliveries commencing in September 2026. However, immediate container deliveries are required in November 2025, January 2026, and April 2026. Extensive market research conducted on February 22, 2024, identified other potential vendors, but only Conco, Inc. can meet November 2025, January 2026, and April 2026 delivery timelines without unacceptable delays. Other vendors would require FAT and tooling modifications, resulting in a minimum delivery timeline of 12 months. Given Conco, Inc’s long history of successful M548 Metal Ammunition Containers production and the Government's agreement to waive FAT due to historically low risk of failure, it is determined that posting an additional Request for Information (RFI) or sources sought notice would not benefit the Government and would duplicate previous efforts.
