155mm Modular Artillery for Combat Effectiveness (MACE)
Solicitation # W15QKN26R1C5R
The 155mm Modular Artillery for Combat Effectiveness (MACE) program, solicitation W15QKN26R1C5R, is a Department of Defense effort managed by the Army Contracting Command Rock Island at Picatinny. The government is seeking up to two prototype Other Transaction Agreements (OTAs) under 10 U.S.C. 4022 to develop a manufacturable 155mm cargo-carrying artillery projectile system. The project is divided into two phases: Phase I focuses on projectiles achieving a range of 30 to 35 km, while Phase II targets ranges beyond 35 km. The goal is to expand domestic manufacturing capacity and develop modular payload capabilities to support a Milestone C production decision by the fourth quarter of FY29, with potential follow-on production of up to 10,000 systems per year. The solicitation has undergone several amendments, most notably Amendment 0007, which extended the proposal submission deadline to 1500 EST on November 30, 2026, and updated the Statement of Work to reflect an anticipated award date of March 29, 2027. Proposals are evaluated based on schedule and technical factors, with schedule being the most important for Phase I and technical being the most important for Phase II, alongside cost and price. To ensure security and compliance, offerors must submit specific certifications, including Business Status Certifications and DD2345 Military Critical Technical Data Agreements, to access controlled technical data. The program emphasizes the National Technology and Industrial Base, prioritizing sources within the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom.

The Army Contracting Command – Rock Island Arsenal is initiating a pre-solicitation notice for the procurement of Special Ammunition and Weapon Systems (SAWS), aiming to establish up to five Firm-Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts to meet national security needs for non-NATO standard and specialized munitions. This effort targets the sourcing of foreign-produced, non-type-classified ammunition and weapon systems not standard for U.S. troop use, with strict emphasis on quality control, safety, and reliability. The procurement operates under NAICS code 332993 for ammunition manufacturing and falls under Federal Supply Group 13 for ammunition and explosives. The contract will span five one-year ordering periods with a total maximum ceiling of 3.5 billion items, and each base contract will include a guaranteed minimum of $1,000 for a CDRL deliverable. 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). Offerors must be registered in SAM.gov, pass a pre-award financial review, and comply with ITAR, cybersecurity standards (NIST SP 800-171), Buy American regulations, and restrictions on sourcing from prohibited entities including certain Russian and Chinese companies, with a mandatory Certification of Compliance with Prohibited Sources submitted as Attachment 0023. All deliveries must adhere to stringent packaging and marking standards per UN Recommendations and ISPM 15 for wood packaging, with two defined packaging types: Type I for combat-grade resilience under harsh outdoor conditions and Type II for training-only use. Items must be new production or qualified new surplus, with distinct age thresholds based on bore diameter—ten years for ≤12.7mm systems and five years for larger systems and weapons. Safety and security protocols are rigorously enforced through DFARS clauses including 252.223-7002 and 252.223-7003, requiring contractors to maintain demonstrable safety programs, designate qualified safety officers, and flow down requirements to subcontractors. Security measures encompass written procedures, quarterly inventory audits, unattended line protections, and potential pre-award DSCA security surveys for SRC I–IV AA&E and SRC I–III missiles

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: contact@example.gov
•    Bethany Carbajal, Contracting Officer, Email:  contact@example.gov
