- The U.S. Army Contracting Command-Rock Island (ACC-RI) Rock Island, IL, on behalf of the Project Manager Combat Ammunition Systems (PM CAS), is conducting market research to identify potential sources within the United States or Canada capable of manufacturing and delivering the 155mm M825A1 Artillery Projectile Body and the 155mm M116A1 Artillery Projectile Body. The purpose of this market survey is to obtain current information on the capability of potential sources to deliver these Artillery Projectile Bodies starting in Fiscal Year (FY) 2020. The Government estimates that approximately 36,000 M825A1 Artillery Projectile Bodies and approximately 12,000 M116A1 Artillery Projectile Bodies may be purchased over a five year period. A 5-year Firm Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity production contract (with five one-year ordering periods) covering FY19-FY23 requirements is anticipated. The M825A1, NSN: 1320-01-164-3487 is a 155mm Smoke Canister Projectile Body made from hot rolled 4140 steel, has a finished weight of approximately 58 lbs, is approximately 30 inches long, and has a curved exterior. In addition, the M825A1 utilizes a welded rotating band that encircles the body close to the base. For storage and transport, a Universal Lifting Plug is threaded into the nose cavity and a flexible cover is installed over the rotating band. The Universal Lifting Plug and Wood Pallets will be Contractor Furnished Material (CFM) under this effort. The Technical Data Package for the 155mm M825A1 Artillery Projectile Body will not be provided in whole or in part in support of this Market Survey. The M116A1, NSN: 1320-01-054-5127 is a 155mm Smoke Canister Projectile Body made from hot forged carbon steel, has a finished weight of approximately 60 lbs, is approximately 24 inches long, and has a curved exterior. In addition, the M116A1 utilizes a swaged rotating band made from seamless brass tubing that encircles the body close to the base. For storage and transport, a Universal Lifting Plug is threaded into the nose cavity and a flexible cover is installed over the rotating band. The Universal Lifting Plug and Wood Pallets will be CFM under this effort. The Technical Data Package for the 155mm M116A1 Artillery Projectile Body will not be provided in whole or in part in support of this Market Survey.
