20MM Ammunition Transfer System (ATS) FA8532-24-R-20MMATS
Summary
AI-generated · Aug 24, 2025Market research to identify potential sources to produce the 20MM Ammunition Transfer System (ATS) under a build-to-print arrangement, with the government owning the Technical Data Package (TDP). The ATS transfers 20mm ammunition from storage into the Universal Ammunition Loading System (UALS) or Link-less Ammunition Loading System (LALS) for transport to the flight line and must be fabricated in accordance with the attached documents. The effort anticipates aggregating backordered quantities and future requirements; current backorders total 39 units with an estimated final requirement up to about 50 units. The acquisition strategy and terms are not yet decided. Access to the TDP and drawings is via attachments; requests must include a signed DD2345 and be submitted through SAM.gov, with access typically limited to a 15-day window. Interested parties should complete and return the attached questionnaire to provide feedback; no capabilities narratives are requested at this time.
Recent updates add missing drawings to the TDP package (including “3305 Drawings” and “3305AS482 Track Element Casting,” with two additional zip files as of August 14, 2025), and the program will be pursued through the Enterprise-Wide Agile Acquisition Contract (EWAAC). An Industry Day in early November is under consideration. The government continues to own the TDP, and the focus remains on gathering industry feedback to inform developing acquisition strategy; responses to the attached questionnaire should be provided by interested parties.
UPDATE - 21 July 2025 Attachments have been updated to include additional drawing, "3305AS482 Track Element Casting." Please email a copy of your signed DD2345 to POCs when requesting access to attachments (access requests should be submitted directly through SAM.gov). ___________________________________________________________________ UPDATE - 7 October 2024 Attachments have been updated to include additional file, "3305 Drawings." Please email a copy of your signed DD2345 to POCs when requesting access to attachments (access requests should be submitted directly through SAM.gov). Note to all interested: The Government is considering hosting an Industry Day in early November. This is still in development and more details will be provided at a later time. ___________________________________________________________________ The Government is conducting market research to identify potential sources to produce the 20MM ATS, NOUN: SHOP EQUIPMENT, AMMU, NSN: 4925-01-612-9334, Part Number 201757932-10, CAGE Code 98752, that have the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet the requirements of the Air Force. This is a build to print acquisition in which the Government owns the Technical Data Package (TDP). The terms and conditions, to include the acquisition strategy, has not yet been decided. The Government will use this information to determine the best acquisition strategy for this procurement. The projected quantities will be an aggregate total of all back ordered 20MM ATS requisitions needed, that work in conjunction with the UALS (Universal Ammunition Loading System) and the LALS (Link-less Ammunition Loading System). Currently, the total quantities are not finalized. The USG currently has 39 on backorder, but the final requirement may fall within an estimated range, up to 50 units. This estimated quantity is inclusive of the current backorders plus any anticipated requirements that may generate during the life of the contract. The 20MM ATS, is used to transfer 20MM ammunitions from storage into the UALS or LALS for transportation to the flight line. The 20MM ATS shall be fabricated IAW with the attached documents. The TDP is included as part of this market research activity. The acquisition team is asking for feedback from Industry representatives regarding this acquisition for the 20MM Ammunition Transfer System. See Part III. Developing Strategy for specifics. Interested parties should complete the attached questionaire and return to the Air Force.
