MACS M231 M232-series Combustible Cartridge Cases Description The U. S. Army Contracting Command-New Jersey (ACC-NJ), located at Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey, in support of the Office of the Project Manager Combat Ammunition Systems (PM- CAS) is conducting market research to identify potential qualified sources capable of producing the M231 M232-series Combustible Case Assemblies to support 155mm Modular Artillery Charge System (MACS) Load, Assemble Pack (LAP). Potential qualified foreign sources can submit a response and can deliver samples for qualification testing from current facility, however the M231 M232-series Combustible Case Assemblies must ultimately be produced within the United States or Canada in the future in accordance with the US Technical Data Package (TDP). The MACS consists of two (2) types of propelling charges, the M231 and the M232-series, and associated packaging. It uses a "build-a-charge," incremental-based system; the M231 is used singularly or in pairs for Low Zones (1 2) and the M232-series is used in groups of 3, 4 or 5 charges for High Zones (3, 4 5). The Combustible Case Assemblies are a key technology for MACS because they burn cleanly, have an exterior coating that enables the MACS to withstand limited out-of-pack exposure, and the rigid case allows the MACS to satisfy its Key Performance Parameter to be automatically handled and loaded. The TDP will be provided upon request pending receipt of all required documents and approval by PM-CAS. This TDP is marked Distribution D, therefore distribution will only be authorized to the Department of Defense (DoD) and United States DoD Contractors. Contractors are required to submit a signed and completed DD Form 2345, Militarily Critical Technical Data Agreement; AMSTA-AR Form 1350, Technical Data Request Questionnaire; and Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) for the Government-s consideration. For non-DoD U.S. contractors, a high-level description of the Combustible Case Assembly will be made available upon request. To be...
