The U.S. Army Contracting Command-New Jersey (ACC-NJ) Picatinny Arsenal, NJ 07806-5000, on behalf of the Office of the Project Manager for Combat Ammunition Systems (PM-CAS) intends to issue a Sole Source, Firm Fixed Price (FFP) modification for the manufacture, test, packaging, and delivery of M31-Type Triple-Base Propellant for the 155mm Modular Artillery Charge Systems (MACS) M232-series propelling charges. The MACS consists of two solid propellant charges, the M231 (low-zone) and the M232-series (high-zone), and their associated packaging. The charge system provides a complete zoning solution for the 155mm artillery applications by using multiples of the basic modules. The bottom-charge M231 is fired either singly (Charge-1) or in pairs (Charge-2) from all cannon systems. The top-charge M232-series is fired in multiples of 3, 4 or 5 in currently fielded weapon systems. The M31 type is the 7-perforated cylindrical granular triple-base propellant for the M232-series propelling charge. The M31-Type Propellant is used for the M232-series MACS propelling charge which is a critical component required for fielding of the highly improved high zone M232-series propelling charge. This modification shall be issued under current contract W15QKN-19-D-0072 with the Canadian Commercial Corporation and GD Canada/Valleyfield, 350 Albert St, Suite 700, Ottawa, CA. This modification will increase the contract ceiling by $972,478,403.24, FROM: $252,943,230.00 TO: $1,225,421,633.24. This modification will be issued under the authority of 10 U.S.C.3204(c)(1); as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii)(B)-Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements. This modification is a result of the surge in requirements to support the Presidential Buyback effort. This modification will also increase the maximum quantity per month to 383,000 and add an additional quantity range of 7,000,001-12,000,000. Appropriate and available funds are available for this acquisition. This announcement is for notification purposes only and shall NOT be construed as a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) nor is the Government obligated to issue an RFP. Any information or exchanges between Contractors and the USG are at no additional cost and/or obligation to the USG. The anticipated award for this action is Fiscal Year 2023, Quarter 3 (FY23Q3). Telephone inquiries will not be accepted. The point of contact for this requirement is Mr. Chris Bartow, ACC-NJ via e-mail: christopher.j.bartow.civ@army.mil.
