Special Ammunition and Weapons Systems (SAWS) - Multiple Award IDIQ Contract Solicitation
Solicitation # SAWS-W519TC26RA036
Army Contracting Command - Rock Island Arsenal and the U.S. Army Product Lead Special Ammunition and Weapon Systems have issued solicitation W519TC26RA036 for the procurement of Special Ammunition and Weapon Systems and non-NATO standard ammunition. This effort supports the Department of War, other U.S. Government agencies, foreign governments, and international organizations by establishing an agile supply chain for non-standard ammunition and select non-standard weapon systems. The government intends to award up to five Firm-Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contracts. The total potential quantity for the life of the contract is 3,552,685,000 items, with a guaranteed minimum of 1,000 dollars provided through an initial delivery order for a Contract Data Requirements List deliverable. The contract structure consists of five one-year ordering periods. The source selection process utilizes the Highest Technically Rated Offeror approach, which is neither a tradeoff nor a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable method. Offerors are evaluated on their past technical experience using a self-score matrix, with a Minimum Technical Threshold Rating of 12,160 points out of a possible 15,200. While the IDIQ award is based on technical rating and price reasonableness, individual delivery orders will be competed using either Best Value Tradeoff or Lowest Price Technically Acceptable approaches. Due to the non-standard nature of the materiel, contractors are strictly evaluated on their ability to implement rigorous quality control, ballistic testing, and physical inspections, and must comply with ISO 9001-2015 standards. Proposals must be submitted via the PIEE Solicitation Module by October 26, 2026, at 8:00 AM Central Standard Time and must remain valid for 180 calendar days. Submissions are divided into three volumes covering contractual documents, technical proposals, and pricing.

The solicitation encompasses a restricted, five-year IDIQ contract issued by the Department of the Army for a second source supplier to produce 5.56mm, 7.62mm, and .50 caliber ammunition, with the goal of ensuring supply resilience and competition. The procurement emphasizes a comprehensive technical evaluation, including production capability, program management, and quality assurance, with significant weight placed on technical merit over price. The contract will utilize firm-fixed prices and economic price adjustments based on copper content, with a ceiling value of approximately 715 million dollars, though actual orders will depend on government demand. Industry feedback on the draft RFP is solicited by July 18, 2025, prior to the scheduled final release in August 2025, with a synopsis notice issued 15 days beforehand.

Evaluation criteria prioritize technical factors, with equal importance assigned to production, program management, and quality subfactors, and combined significantly outweighing price in the award decision. Past performance and small business participation are also considered, with specific rating scales and risk assessments guiding the process. The contract administration details specify electronic invoicing via Wide Area WorkFlow, with no explicit mention of specific DoDAACs or accounting data, but highlight the importance of timely, accurate documentation and compliance.
