This guidebook provides detailed information on the Joint Program Executive Office Armaments and Ammunition, including its six subordinate project management offices and other organizations operating within the Ammunition Enterprise. Key components of the guidebook include Appendix A, which outlines business opportunities for fiscal year 2019 along with planned requirements for fiscal year 2020, and Appendix B, which lists the Science and Technology Focus Areas for the Combat Capabilities Development Command (CCDC) Armaments Center. Presentations from the summit may be posted on the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) website about three weeks after the event. The document serves primarily as a planning tool and does not guarantee procurement of listed items, funding allocations, or timeframes given the fiscal climate uncertainties. It is issued by the Department of Defense, with Kim M. Potempa Niedosik designated as the contracting officer. The solicitation number associated with this release is W15QKN-19-X-05WU, and the relevant NAICS code is 332993, indicating a focus on ammunition manufacturing. The guidebook highlights significant opportunities for industry engagement but emphasizes that all information is subject to change and should not be interpreted as definitive government commitments.
