The United States Marine Corps has awarded a series of delivery order contracts to Independent Rough Terrain Center LLC, a manufacturer of rough terrain material handling equipment, to provide Rough Terrain Container Handler Sustainment and Life Extension Program (RTCH SLEP) services. These contracts, valued at over $62.8 million in total potential value, facilitate the Marine Corps' efforts to restore, upgrade, and maintain its fleet of RTCH vehicles used for expeditionary logistics operations.
The contractor will perform the RTCH SLEP work at its facility in Schertz, Texas, with no subcontractors indicated. The contracts are firm fixed price delivery orders, some of which were issued under the Navy's SeaPort-NxG multiple award contract vehicle. While no set-aside designations were used, the services provided support the Marine Corps' ground combat and support equipment modernization programs. The contracts have periods of performance ranging from one to five years, with the most recent award dated January 2020 providing a five-year ordering period. This sustained investment in RTCH refurbishment and life extension demonstrates the continued importance of these specialized material handling assets to the Marine Corps' expeditionary logistics and amphibious warfare capabilities.
