1.0 Introduction

The Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) platform, to include the ACV Personnel Variant (ACV-P), ACV Command and Control Variant (ACV-C), and ACV-30mm Medium Caliber Cannon (ACV-30) Production Representative Test Vehicle (PRTV) are currently being produced by BAE Systems Land & Armaments LP (BAE), along with initial design of the ACV-Recovery (ACV-R) PRTV, under contract M67854-16-C-0006.

PM AAA is seeking to identify interested vendors capable of providing Product Service Code (PSC) 14029 Service Cranes for the ACV-R crane integration. To meet the Marine Corps’ Approved Acquisition Objective (AAO), PM AAA requires procurement, manufacturing, shipping and handling of the ACV-R PSC 14029 Service Crane quantities for the ACV-R, which requires performance of the tasks identified in Section 2.0 below.
