OFFICIAL NOTICE CONTENT
Opportunity description
The Government intends to award a 12 month bridge contract to Conco, Inc., under the authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302 Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This action is for the production and delivery of approximately 9,000 M548 Metal Ammunition Containers, a critical packaging component for small and medium caliber ammunition used in training and combat operations. The bridge contract is necessary to ensure continued production and delivery of these containers until the anticipated follow-on contract is fully implemented. The proposed contract will be a firm-fixed-price 12 month bridge contract that mirrors the scope of work previously performed under the expired Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contract W52P1J-20-D-0033 with Conco, Inc. The estimated value of this effort is $616,964.60. The follow-on M548 Metal Ammunition Containers contract was awarded on September 25, 2025, with First Article Testing (FAT) due by June 23, 2026, and deliveries commencing in September 2026. However, immediate container deliveries are required in November 2025, January 2026, and April 2026. Extensive market research conducted on February 22, 2024, identified other potential vendors, but only Conco, Inc. can meet November 2025, January 2026, and April 2026 delivery timelines without unacceptable delays. Other vendors would require FAT and tooling modifications, resulting in a minimum delivery timeline of 12 months. Given Conco, Inc�s long history of successful M548 Metal Ammunition Containers production and the Government's agreement to waive FAT due to historically low risk of failure, it is determined that posting an additional Request for Information (RFI) or sources sought notice would not benefit the Government and would duplicate previous efforts.

GOVBIDFIT SCREENING LENS
What deserves attention before you spend bid time
These screening signals are generated from the public notice fields stored for this specific opportunity. They are not eligibility findings or predictions; they are prompts for a faster, more disciplined review of the official solicitation.
This record is in a solicitation stage, so submission instructions, evaluation factors, attachments and amendments should be reviewed before a bid/no-bid decision.
The stored response date leaves more than ten days, but amendments and pre-response milestones can shorten the usable preparation window.
The current feed does not show a program-specific set-aside restriction. That does not remove other eligibility, responsibility, registration or solicitation-specific requirements.
NAICS 332431 · PSC 8140 is the recorded classification. Use it as a screening clue, then compare the actual scope and deliverables rather than treating the code alone as proof of fit.
GovBidFit has stored substantive notice text for this record, but attachments, clauses, amendments and Q&A can still contain requirements that are not visible in the description alone.
The source data includes 2 public contracting contacts. Use the solicitation's stated communication rules and deadlines before contacting the buyer.

Before deciding to bid
GovBidFit is independent and is not a U.S. government website. GovBidFit stores a structured mirror of SAM.gov public opportunity data in its own database and keeps the compact snapshot as a fallback. The official SAM.gov notice remains the controlling source. The official SAM.gov notice controls if anything here differs from the source or a later amendment.
