M548 Metal Ammunition Containers Bridge Contract

The Government intends to award a 12-month bridge contract for the production and delivery of approximately 9,000 M548 Metal Ammunition Containers. The contract will be a firm-fixed-price contract that mirrors the scope of work previously performed under an expired Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The estimated value of this effort is $616,964.60. The bridge contract is necessary to ensure continued production and delivery of these containers until the anticipated follow-on contract is fully implemented. • The contract is for a critical packaging component for small and medium caliber ammunition used in training and combat operations. • The bridge contract is necessary to meet immediate container delivery requirements in November 2025, January 2026, and April 2026. • Conco, Inc. is the only vendor that can meet the required delivery timelines without unacceptable delays.
