Quick Summary

The U.S. Army Contracting Command-New Jersey (ACC-NJ), on behalf of the Office of the Project Manager for Combat Ammunition Systems (PM CAS), is conducting a market survey to identify potential sources for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Equipment capable of inspecting 155mm Artillery M795 Metal Parts. This is for informational and planning purposes only, not a Request for Proposal. Responses are due April 13, 2026.

Scope of Work

The requirement is for NDT equipment that can inspect 155mm M795 Metal Parts at a rate of no less than 5,000 per month. The M795 Metal Part is made from high fragmentation steel alloy (HF-1), weighs approximately 75 lbs, is about 30 inches long, and has a curved exterior with a welded rotating band. The NDT methods must verify the absence of discontinuities (cracks, defects, folds) and undersized wall thickness, as well as conformance to wall thickness variation requirements.
