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.

Value counts new single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling (same contract, or the same office, day and amount); that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Contract modifications are not new awards and are not added in either. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's revenue over the latest 12 months in its SEC filings.
- $NOC reported $42.9B revenue (12 months to Jun 30, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 135 past awards, $803K, is under 0.1% of that. SEC filing
- $MOG-A reported $4.3B revenue (12 months to Jun 27, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 135 past awards, $803K, is under 0.1% of that. SEC filing
- $CR reported $2.3B revenue (fiscal year ending Dec 31, 2025). The median single-winner award in these 135 past awards, $803K, is under 0.1% of that. SEC filing
One award's total value against one year of revenue; many awards are paid over several years.
