Qualification Details

Fit reasons
  • NAICS alignment with historical contract wins in similar service areas.
  • Scope strongly matches core technical capabilities and delivery model.
Risks
  • Past performance thresholds may require one additional teaming partner.
  • Potential clarification needed on staffing minimums before bid/no-bid.
Next steps

Validate eligibility requirements, assign capture owner, and schedule partner outreach to confirm teaming strategy before submission planning.

Quick Summary

The U.S. Army Contracting Command-New Jersey (ACC-NJ), on behalf of the Project Manager for Combat Ammunition Systems (PM CAS), is conducting a market survey to identify sources capable of manufacturing and delivering Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Equipment for 155mm Artillery M795 Metal Parts. The goal is to inspect M795 Metal Parts at a rate of no less than 5,000 per month. This is for informational and planning purposes only; no contract will be awarded from this announcement. Responses are due by April 27, 2026.

Purpose & Scope

This market research aims to identify potential sources within the National Technology and Industrial Base (NTIB) for NDT equipment. The equipment must inspect the 155mm M795 Metal Part, which is made from high fragmentation steel alloy (HF-1), weighs approximately 75 lbs, is 30 inches long, has a curved exterior, and includes a welded rotating band. NDT methods are required to verify the M795 Metal Part is free from discontinuities (cracks, piping defects, folds) and undersized wall thickness, and to ensure conformance to wall thickness variation requirements.

Response Requirements

Interested sources must be registered in SAM and submit a capabilities statement (not exceeding 15 pages) including:

  • Company contact information, business size, UEI, and CAGE Code.
  • Summary of capabilities and parent organizations.
  • Past inspection experience with artillery metal parts (155mm or similar) within 10 years.
  • Description of proposed automated inspection method, including 100% volumetric coverage for M795, modeling/simulation capabilities for flaw detection.
  • Evidence of ability to deliver a complete inspection system (software, electro-mechanical components) for high-rate industrial production, with automated inspection, data collection, interpretation, and accept/reject disposition.
  • Ability to support maintenance, training, and technical support contracts.
  • Projected delivery capabilities and lead times for NDT inspection systems.
  • Description of facilities, equipment, personnel, high-production rate experience, and potential partnering.
  • Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) cost to achieve capability for 5,000 parts/month, including NRE and equipment costs.
  • Indication if a commercially available or modifiable product meets the need.

Technical Data Access

A Technical Data Package (TDP) for the M795 Metal Parts is available upon request. It is marked Distribution D, meaning access is restricted to Department of Defense (DoD) and U.S. DoD contractors. Foreign sources may receive with PM CAS approval. To obtain the TDP, interested parties must submit a signed DD Form 2345 (Militarily Critical Technical Data Agreement), AMSTA-AR Form 1350 (Technical Data Request Questionnaire), and a Non-Disclosure Agreement. Upon completion of the market survey, all received TDPs and copies must be destroyed, and a "Certificate of Destruction" must be submitted within three days of the notice expiration.
