The 155mm Modular Artillery for Combat Effectiveness (MACE) program, managed by the U.S. Army Contracting Command Rock Island at Picatinny, is a solicitation for up to two prototype Other Transaction Agreements under 10 U.S.C. section 4022. The objective is to develop a manufacturable 155mm cargo-carrying artillery projectile system capable of delivering effects at ranges of 30 km to 35 km, with optional configurations for ranges beyond 35 km. The system must be compatible with M777A2 and M109A7 platforms, legacy propellant systems, and existing qualified fuzes. The effort is structured in two phases, with the goal of reaching a Milestone C production decision in FY29. Deliverables include a significant number of projectiles for engineering, safety, and soldier testing, as well as various technical reviews and documentation. The procurement process emphasizes a best-value integrated assessment, where non-cost factors such as schedule and technical capability are significantly more important than price. Proposals must be submitted via SAM.gov by October 30, 2026, following an extension from the original September deadline. To access restricted technical data, including purchase descriptions and unitization drawings, offerors must submit a technical data request questionnaire, a non-disclosure agreement, and a military critical technical data agreement. The government requires strict adherence to the Buy America Act and may restrict competition to the National Technology and Industrial Base, including the U.S., Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom.

All awards will follow the Highest Technically Rated Offeror (HTRO) selection process per FAR 15.103-3, requiring strict compliance with mandatory pass/fail gates, a technical matrix evaluating capability against minimum thresholds, and pricing assessed for fairness and balance under FAR 15.404-1(g).

Edited 7/10/2026 to include SAWS Industry Day Questions and Answers attachment.


____________________________________________________________________


This posting announces the release of Draft Request for Proposal (RFP) #3 for the Special Ammunition and Weapon Systems (SAWS) and Non-NATO Commercial Ammunition acquisition. This third and final draft serves as a direct update to the initial versions posted on March 17, 2026 and April 27, 2026 and specifically incorporates feedback, questions and answers, and insights gained during the industry engagement held on March 24, 2026 and virtual industry event on May 14, 2026. This posting provides updated versions of the draft solicitation and its various attachments, as well as a consolidated list of questions and answers derived from previous industry interactions.


The primary objective of this updated notice is to provide industry partners with a comprehensive understanding of the mission requirements and to gather additional feedback on the content before the formal RFP is finalized. It is important to clarify that the government is not currently soliciting or negotiating formal proposals through this draft. The focus of this phase is strictly on refining the acquisition's technical and administrative requirements to ensure clarity and feasibility. This draft RFP #3 remains non-binding, and all information contained within is subject to further modification based on continued evaluation and industry input.


Throughout the provided documentation, the terms Request for Proposal and solicitation are used synonymously and interchangeably. Furthermore, unless a specific provision states otherwise, any references to the number of days for submissions or contractual requirements refer to calendar days rather than business days. This approach ensures a standard timeline for all participants as the government moves toward the release of the formal solicitation.


The USG is seeking feedback on the following questionnaire regarding Draft RFP #3 to ensure its effectiveness:


1.    The Minimum Technical Threshold Rating (MTTR) is currently set at 80% of the total possible points. Based on your company's experience, would you realistically be able to meet the 80% MTTR? Which categories or specific line items present the most significant challenges to achieving that score?


2.    The HTRO Matrix identifies specific types of documentation as proof. Are there alternative work samples or forms of evidence that you believe would also be strong indicators of capability for these categories?


Any additional questions and feedback in addition to the questions/statements provided above and regarding this Draft RFP shall be submitted to the following USG Contracting Representatives:
•    Logan Frye, Contract Specialist, Email: logan.e.frye.civ@army.mil
•    Bethany Carbajal, Contracting Officer, Email:  bethany.n.carbajal.civ@army.mil
