This is a MAGTFTC/MCAGCC/MWTC -only use contract. This is not a Government-wide contract. The immediate application of this contract solution will address requirements of the Department of Defense and especially the requirements of the MAGTFTC/MCAGCC/MWTC. The contract, however, may be used to satisfy the needs of any

MAGTFTC/MCAGCC/MWTC client with in-scope requirements. These requirements represent a significant amount of spend that is anticipated to increase over the coming years. The contract is planned to support a 5-year total period of performance.

In support of this effort, the RCO is requesting information from Industry in order to identify potential suppliers and begin the collaboration process with Industry as we progress along the acquisition timeline. We will continuously post updates here at FBO. Thank you for your participation in this exciting endeavor. We very much look forward to hearing from you.
