155mm Modular Artillery for Combat Effectiveness (MACE)

Solicitation # W15QKN26R1C5R

The 155mm Modular Artillery for Combat Effectiveness (MACE) program, solicitation W15QKN26R1C5R, is a Department of Defense effort managed by the Army Contracting Command Rock Island at Picatinny. The government is seeking up to two prototype Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs) under 10 U.S.C. 4022 to develop a manufacturable 155mm cargo-carrying artillery projectile system. The project is divided into two phases: Phase I focuses on projectiles achieving a range of 30 to 35 km, while Phase II targets ranges beyond 35 km. The goal is to expand domestic manufacturing capacity and develop modular payload capabilities 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 solicitation has undergone several amendments, most notably Amendment 0007, which extended the proposal submission deadline to 1500 EST on November 30, 2026, and updated the Statement of Work to reflect an anticipated award date of March 29, 2027. Proposals are evaluated based on schedule and technical factors, with schedule being the most important for Phase I and technical being the most important for Phase II, alongside cost and price. To ensure security and compliance, offerors must submit specific certifications, including Business Status Certifications and DD2345 Military Critical Technical Data Agreements, to access controlled technical data. The program emphasizes the National Technology and Industrial Base, prioritizing sources within the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom.

Full Description

**This description was amended and attachments were added on 26 SEP 2022** Multiple Aircraft Ammunition Loading System (MAALS) and Ammunition Transfer System (ATS), also known as a Replenisher, are military unique ammunition loading support equipment items that are used together to load 20MM ammunition onto aircraft. There are no commercial ammunition loaders in use by current civilian aircraft fleets. Only military aircraft utilize the M61A1/A2 20MM Gatling Gun to target the enemy. A prototype MAALS was tested and operated with the M61A1/A2 20MM Gatling Gun, which is used on the F-15, F-16, and F-22 aircraft. As part of this acquisition, the Government will have the option to procure level 3 and 3D modeling data for both the MAALS and the ATS. The data will allow for future competitive procurement and continued production of MAALS and ATS units after the term of the pending contract. The Government anticipates awarding a Firm-Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract in Fiscal Year 2023. The period of performance will be 5 years in total, consisting of a two-year basic period, two 1-year ordering periods, and one option year. Due to not owning the data rights, the Government intends to award this on a sole source basis. A primary objective of this effort is to update the Linkless Ammunition Loading System (LALS) into the MAALS. The LALS presently can load 20MM ammunition onto only the F-15 and F-16 aircraft but is required to also load the F-22 aircraft. Multi-Aircraft Ammunition Loading Assembly (MAALS) NSN 1730-01-671-2136, P/N 029999-10 Technical Aspects: Dimensions (maximum): 192.5 L X 63'W X 37.5'H Weight: 2,375 lb Operating Power: Pneumatic power Operating Power Source: Compressed air tank Number of Wheels: 4 Number of Axles: 2 Turning radius (maximum): 45 Technical Description: The Multi-Aircraft Ammunition Loading System, MAALS is a trailer-mounted Linkless Ammunition Loading System designed to load ammunition from shipping and storage containers into the F-15, F-16, and F-22 aircraft. It is capable of loading and unloading up to 2100 live or spent rounds of ammunitions from the aircraft gun system into ammunition shipping and storage containers simultaneously. The MAALS interfaces directly with the M61A1/A2 20MM Aircraft gun system via the Aircraft Interface Unit (AIU) and is driven by on-board pneumatic power system by means of a flexible drive shaft. The MAALS uses a linkless conveyor assembly mechanism which moves the rounds into the M61A1/A2 20MM aircraft gun storage container or back into the internal storage area of the MAALS. Logistics: Technical Order (TO) 35D2-19-1 Tools and Equipment as identified in the TO 35D2-19-1 The operation life span is 20 years, replacing the damaged part(s) may be necessary. Ammunition Transfer System (ATS) ATS NSN: 4925-01-612-9334, P/N 201757932-10 Technical Aspects: Dimensions (maximum): 79.4'L X 30.7'W X 39.3'H Weight: 330 lbs. Operating Power: Manual or Pneumatic Operating Power Source: Compressed air tank Number of Wheels: 4 Technical Description: The 20 millimeter (mm) ammunition loading system replenisher assembly is used to transfer 20 mm, M-50 series ammunition from storage into the mobile loader assembly for transportation to the flight line. While performing this function, it simultaneously and independently receives spent cases and/or unfired ammunition from the loader assembly. The replenisher will function when supplied with either bulk (loose) or linked ammunition. It may be manually or pneumatically operated. When the pneumatic drive assembly is used, an external compressed air source is required. Logistics: Technical Order (TO) 35D30-4-11-1 Tools and Equipment as identified in the TO 35D30-4-11-1 The operation life span is 20 years, replacing the damaged part(s) may be necessary.
