M739A1 Point Detonating/Delay (PD/DLY) Fuze

The U.S. Army Contracting Command – New Jersey (ACC-PICA), on behalf of the Department of the Army, has issued solicitation W15QKN25R0002 for the procurement of the M739A1 Point Detonating/Delay (PD/DLY) Fuze. This hardware serves as the primary fuze for 105mm and 155mm bursting artillery projectiles, supporting training and tactical operations for the U.S. Army and Marine Corps, as well as training operations for SOCOM. The fuze features a one-piece solid aluminum body with a standard 2-inch threaded base and five modular subassemblies, including an Impact Delay Module (IDM) that provides a 3-6 millisecond function delay upon target penetration. The exterior is finished with a green anodized coating to assist Explosive Ordnance Disposal personnel in identification.

The acquisition is classified under NAICS 332993, Ammunition (except Small Arms) Manufacturing, and PSC 1390, Fuzes and Primers. This requirement is being solicited as a full and open competition with no set-aside restrictions specified. The solicitation was originally published on May 15, 2025, and has been updated through Amendment 0002. Formal responses are due by July 29, 2025.

The procurement package includes 28 attachments, such as Non-Disclosure and Non-Use Agreements, Certificates of Destruction, and formal amendment documents. Michael Kline serves as the primary point of contact for this solicitation. Performance requirements and delivery schedules are governed by the technical specifications for the modular subassemblies and the IDM, which initiates mechanical actions based on projectile deceleration without the use of explosive components within the module itself.
