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) vehicle chassis, PRTV, under contract M67854-16-C-0006.

The Government will provide drawings as described in Section 2.0 below sufficient to enable a vendor to replicate a Rotary Union with the salient characteristics needed by the Government.

Program Manager, Advanced Amphibious Assault (PM AAA) is planning for manufacturing and fielding the ACV-R Mission Role Variant (MRV) for the ACV FoV.

PM AAA is seeking potential sources for the procurement, manufacturing, shipping and handling of custom Rotary Unions designed for integration with the PSC 14029 crane on the Amphibious Combat Vehicle – Recovery (ACV-R) platform. This is a market research effort to identify qualified vendors capable of meeting the specified requirements.

1.1 Purpose

The Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC) is issuing this Sources Sought Notice, in support of Program Executive Officer Land Systems (PEO LS), to determine if more than one vendor is capable of performing the effort described within this notice.
