155mm Next Generation Rocket Assisted Projectile (NGRAP) W15QKN-25-X-1A8R
Summary
AI-generated · Aug 24, 2025Market survey to identify sources capable of developing, qualifying and prototyping an Extended Range 155mm Projectile for the NGRAP program, with a target unguided range of at least 40 km and guided range of at least 36 km on 39-caliber platforms, and up to 55 km unguided / 48 km guided on 52-caliber platforms. The projectile must be compatible with legacy propellant systems, fuzes, and weapon platforms, and able to defeat personnel and light materiel targets including radar, air defense, and artillery. Respondents should identify essential USG system characteristics that must exist or be modified to meet range and accuracy requirements, including potential changes to projectiles, propellants, fuzing, guidance kits, fire control, and the weapon system. The effort envisions advancing from development through live-fire testing, Critical Design Review, and qualification toward early production, with plans for an early operational capability and Full Materiel Release in the future; the program may proceed under a Stand-Alone OTA, though the acquisition approach could change.
Responses must describe the proposed projectile and technology to meet the stated range goals, provide evidence of testing and capability to qualify and deliver, and outline supply chain, facilities, prototyping/production rates, inspection capability, personnel, and Quality Management System certifications. Include the Government Furnished Materials expected to be provided, and a Rough Order of Magnitude for production profiles (from hundreds up to tens of thousands of units per year). Provide company information, evidence of NTDC participation or 1/3 resource-share, and SAM registration. Submissions are for planning purposes only and do not obligate the Government; a 30-day response window applies. Access to the Draft System P-Spec requires signing specified military data and non-disclosure forms; if provided, a Certificate of Destruction must be submitted after closing. No payment will be made for information. If a formal solicitation is issued later, it will be published. No substantive changes exist between Record 1 and Record 2.
The U.S. Army Contracting Command-New Jersey (ACC-NJ) on behalf of the Project Manager Combat Ammunition Systems (PM-CAS), both located at Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey (NJ), is conducting a market survey to identify potential sources who are capable of developing, qualifying and prototyping an Extended Range 155mm Projectile at high rates, for the Next Generation Rocket Assisted Projectile (NGRAP) program, in support of the U.S. Army for Fiscal Years (FYs) 2026 through FY28. Any proposed Extended Range 155mm Projectile shall meet the NGRAP System Performance Specification (P-Spec) requirements of the Projectile as detailed in the Draft NGRAP System P-Spec. The United States Government (USG) is contemplating using a Stand-Alone Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) under 10 U.S.C. 4022 to satisfy this requirement. However, if the acquisition approach changes, the information obtained from this sources sought notice will be used in the planning and award of the project. The proposed NGRAP is desired to be compatible with legacy propellant systems (e.g. the M232-series Modular Artillery Charge System (MACS)), Fuzes (e.g. the M767-series, M782-series and the M1156A1 fuzes) and 39-caliber Weapon Platforms (e.g. the M109-series Self-Propelled Howitzers and M777-series155mm Lightweight Towed Howitzer) to achieve an unguided range of at least 40 kilometers (km) and a guided range of at least 36 km. Furthermore, the proposed Projectile shall effectively defeat personnel and light material target sets including radar, air defense, and artillery systems. The respondent must identify the essential characteristics of USG systems that must exist and/or be modified to achieve the desired ranges and accuracy. For example, the respondent shall highlight any required capabilities of or modifications to the Projectiles, Propellant, Fuzing, Guidance Kits, Fire Control, and/or the Weapon System. It should be noted, the NGRAP s requirements include objectives for interoperability and extended ranges with future weapons, propulsion, and fuzing. Range objectives include an unguided range of at least 55 km and a guided range of at least 48 km in 52-caliber Weapon Platforms. The proposed Projectile will have the potential to support and/or supplement the Project Manager Self-Propelled Howitzer Systems (PM-SPHS) howitzer ecosystem should the US Army elect to evaluate and develop rocket assisted projectile ammunition outside of that program scope in pursuit of rocket assisted ammunition for the Mobile Tactical Cannon (MTC). The government is seeking mature projectile solutions that can proceed to Critical Design Review (CDR) with limited development before entering full qualification. The government requests potential respondents include details that clarify the development path to live fire testing, CDR, qualification, and early production (~200 projectiles / month). The program office intends to deliver an early operation capability in FY27 and anticipates Full Materiel Release (FMR) in FY30. Upon successful completion of the Stand-alone OTA, the USG intends that future contract efforts for Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP) and Full Rate Production (FRP) will utilize a USG Level III Technical Data Package (TDP) (established during Projectile Qualification) manufactured in the US industrial base supply chain. To be considered as a capable source for this effort, all interested sources must submit the requested information, which will assist the USG in developing its acquisition strategy: A description of the proposed Projectile, concepts and/or technology to meet the range requirements of 40 km (unguided) and 36km (guided) in a 39-caliber weapon and/or 55 km (unguided) and 48 km (guided) in a 52-caliber weapon; a) Provide evidence of the capabilities of the proposed NGRAP and its ability to meet the range requirements. This is to include testing demonstrations conducted to date along with relevant results. Details of these events shall include the fuzing, propellant, guidance kits, and weapon system(s) used in the testing demonstrations; b) Provide evidence of adequate engineering, technical and manufacturing capability to qualify and deliver a proposed NGRAP. If a respondent does not possess the adequate capabilities (technical, manufacturing, personnel, etc.) available, they shall demonstrate their ability to obtain the resources needed to meet the required timeline detailed above; c) Provide a description of the supply chain(s), facility(ies), prototyping/production rates, equipment, manufacturing processes, inspection capability, personnel, and Quality Management System (QMS) certifications or standards to be used in development, prototyping, and production of the proposed NGRAP. Specific consideration should be given to the experience of the supply chain in the manufacture of 155mm Projectiles or other similar defense products in the previous 5 years; d) The respondent shall identify the desired Government Furnished Materials (GFM) to be provided by the USG in fulfillment of the proposed NGRAP effort throughout each phase of the acquisition; e) Provide a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) for the following profiles: - 500 units per year - 2,500 units per year - 7,500 units per year - 15,000 units per year f) Provide company name, address, CAGE code, telephone number, email address, technical point of contact, and company size (please specify as either a Large Business, Small Business, Small Disadvantaged Business, 8(a) concern, Woman-Owned Small Business, Historically Underutilized Business Zone concern, Veteran-Owned Small Business, or Service-Disabled Small Business). g) Provide evidence of Non-traditional Defense Contractor (NTDC) Participation or 1/3 Resource-Share for this effort in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 4022.
