AI Contract Overview
The Department of the Army, through the Project Manager Howitzer Systems and associated program offices, is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) for the Mobile Tactical Cannon-Tracked (MTC-T) program. This effort is a distinct initiative from the wheeled version (MTC-W) and focuses on acquiring a mature and available 155mm tracked self-propelled howitzer and resupply platform for use within armored formations. The government is seeking market research on vendor capabilities, including technical data on ammunition handling, fire control, and safety evaluations conforming to MIL-STD and NATO STANAG standards. While this RFI is not a formal solicitation or a commitment to award, the government intends to pursue a Firm Fixed Price Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) with a solicitation expected in the first quarter of FY27. Key requirements include the ability to deliver one tracked self-propelled howitzer and one resupply vehicle, along with necessary support personnel, to a US Army test center within 90 days of award. The government is specifically interested in systems with a 30km range and the ability to handle 155mm projectiles. Interested industry partners were invited to a virtual Industry Day on September 8, 2026, and must submit written electronic responses by September 11, 2026. Submissions must include a detailed respondent overview, supply chain data, and estimated costs for US-manufactured systems. All responses must be sent via email to the designated points of contact rather than through SAM.gov, with strict adherence to proprietary marking and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) handling standards.

2. Subject: Special Notice for Mobile Tactical Cannon Request for Information and Industry Day
3. DESCRIPTION AND BACKGROUND:
The United States (US) Army remains committed to modernizing its field artillery formations through mature and available, 155mm, self-propelled howitzer systems. Most recently, the US Army reevaluated its objectives for modernization and progressed to replacing the M777 howitzer with a wheeled self-propelled howitzer system in the program called Mobile Tactical Cannon – Wheeled (MTC-W). This RFI, however, is focused on an additional capability, namely a tracked self-propelled 155mm howitzer for employment within armored formations referred to as Mobile Tactical Cannon-Tracked (MTC-T) . This RFI must be recognized as a new and distinctly separate effort from the MTC-W effort.
The USG acknowledges that several RFIs have been issued under the broader self-propelled howitzer modernization strategy. As we work to shape the acquisition approach, it is imperative that the USG continually update market research through industry partners to obtain the best available and most affordable solution for the US Army. In doing so, it is appreciated that all responses include the most up to date information.
In support of this objective, PM HS will host a virtual introductory Industry Day on 08 September 2026 from 0900-1000 EDT to orient industry on overarching considerations and timelines. Respondents wishing to brief the Government on their responses to the Request For Information questions must coordinate a one-hour virtual discussion time slot based on guidance found in the Request for Information document.
Note: While participation in a virtual briefing is optional, all respondents (including those participating in a briefing) are requested to submit a written electronic response to the questions outlined in Section 6.
5. Responses: Please see below attachment " PM_HS_MTC-Tracked_Request_for_Information" for all details and instructions on this Request for Information (RFI).
