Production procurement consists of All-Up-Round missiles (e.g. AMRAAM Air Vehicles (AAV))--currently AIM-120C7/C8 and AIM120-D/D3 variants, Captive Air Training Missiles (CATMs), Special Test Vehicles (STVs) (including Instrumented Measurement Vehicles (IMVs), Integrated Test Vehicles (ITVs), AMRAAM Captive Equipment (ACE) pods), Telemetry Units/Kits, AMRAAM Air Vehicle Instrumented (AAVI), Captive Carry Reliability Vehicles (CCRV), AMRAAM sub-systems and sub-assemblies, spares (e.g. initial depot spares, field spares), warranties/warranty repair, support items, Programmable Advanced System Interface Simulator (PASIS), FMS offset administration costs, software/hardware upgrades to support production and fielded missiles, and any other required associated data.

Other requirements include test equipment, support equipment, and Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) purchases/solutions. Test and support equipment includes the production builds of AMRAAM specific testing stations and support equipment as well as the support of that equipment. AMRAAM DMSMS efforts include identification, resolution, and/or mitigation of obsolescence issues for lower level assemblies (Circuit Card Assemblies (CCAs), Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), etc) and components of AMRAAM fielded missile variants and AMRAAM production missile variants. More specifically, AMRAAM DMSMS includes any form, fit, function, refresh effort necessary to support production block changes, life-of-type buys (LTBs) for purchases of parts/components made by the prime contractor or its suppliers at any tier, qualification of replacement parts, or any other effort necessary to combat DMSMS challenges and build/sustain the AMRAAM variants.
