The U.S. Department of Defense said Thursday that General Dynamics-Ordnance & Tactical Systems and American Ordnance would compete for $993 million worth of orders to produce 155mm artillery munitions.

Two companies will compete for each order of a procurement contract through Feb. 14, 2028, the Defense Department announced.

Also noted that work locations and funding will be determined with each order.

The U.S. Army is successfully executing 155mm artillery acceleration efforts amid the war in Ukraine and awards new contract actions that will significantly increase production capacity for additional 155mm artillery rounds.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
