AI Contract Overview

The Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM) plans to modify its existing contract with General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems to incorporate an extended range 120mm high explosive mortar round for the Expeditionary Fire Support System/Internally Transportable Vehicle (EFSS/ITV). This new round must meet strict safety and performance standards, including Insensitive Munitions compliance and approval by the US Navy Weapons Systems Explosive Safety Review Board, ensuring it can be safely transported and used aboard Navy ships. It is designed to be fired from the 120mm rifled mortar tube associated with the EFSS program, with a minimum range capability of 17 kilometers and an accuracy target of a circular error probable (CEP) no greater than 20 meters at that distance. The contract modification will be negotiated on a sole source basis, leveraging the existing relationship with General Dynamics, the only U.S. licensed provider for 120mm rifled ammunition, under statutory authority permitting non-competitive procurement. The development phase is expected to proceed on a cost plus award fee or cost plus incentive fee basis, aligned with ongoing EFSS weapon system and ammunition development efforts to meet the EFSS Initial Operating Capability timeline. This notification serves as an informational announcement only, with no formal solicitation planned, and the government reserves the right to decide not to compete this contract based on responses received. Contact information has been provided for further questions regarding this procurement.
