Description

The U.S. Army is issuing a Multiple‑Award IDIQ contract to procure non‑NATO special ammunition and select non‑standard weapon systems for U.S. and allied customers. Up to five Firm‑Fixed‑Price IDIQs will be awarded; each contractor receives a $1,000 guaranteed minimum order and the Government may order up to 3.55 billion items over five one‑year ordering periods. Awards are based on a Highest Technically Rated Offeror (HTRO) source‑selection process, with subsequent delivery orders evaluated via LPTA or Best‑Value trade‑offs. Contractors must demonstrate extensive technical experience, maintain strict quality‑control, comply with export‑control and prohibited‑source regulations, and be able to provide documentation for licensing, certifications, and supply‑chain transparency. • IDIQ contract (FFP) – up to five awards, 5‑year potential performance window. • Minimum guaranteed first delivery order: $1,000; no further minimum. • Maximum ordering quantity: 3,552,685,000 ammunition/weapon items. • Technical evaluation (HTRO) precedes price competition; delivery orders may use LPTA or Best‑Value. • Required certifications: DDTC registration, FFL Type 11, active SAM/CAGE, export‑license capability, prohibited‑source compliance. • Delivery points, FOB, and lead times determined per individual delivery order. • Proposals due 19 Oct 2026, 5 PM CST; must be submitted via the PIEE Solicitation Module.

Budget estimate

$500,000,000 – $2,000,000,000

The solicitation does not disclose a total contract value. However, the maximum ordering quantity (≈3.55 billion items) suggests a multi‑hundred‑million to low‑billion‑dollar spend over the five‑year period, depending on unit prices (which can range from a few dollars for basic munitions to several hundred dollars for specialized, foreign‑produced weapons). Assuming an average unit price of $150 (mid‑range between low‑cost bulk ammo and high‑value specialty systems), the potential ceiling would be roughly $530 million. A more conservative average of $300 per item would push the ceiling toward $1 billion. Therefore, a realistic budget range for a prime contractor could be estimated between $500 million and $2 billion over the life of the contract. Factors influencing the final amount include the mix of low‑cost versus high‑cost items, the number of delivery orders actually placed, and any competitive price reductions on individual orders.
