The Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) vehicles to be procured are the Toyota Land Cruisers (TLC) SUV (Model 76,78, 79, and 200), Toyota Hilux Trucks, and Ford Ranger Trucks. These vehicles shall retain the OEM profile while supporting any modifications.

The contractor shall provide all material, services and necessary support documentation, which includes but is not limited to providing all materials, equipment, hard tooling, personnel, and facilities necessary to manufacture, fabricate, integrate, produce, and test the required types and quantities of any deliverables, needed to successfully perform under this effort. Material solutions must go through a design review process and approval. Once approved, the materials will be integrated into an initial vehicle lot. The modified vehicles are then required to go through Production Qualification Test (PQT). After successful completion of testing, the Government may issue Delivery Orders for production. The contractor shall produce, manufacture, prepare and deliver associated documentation, provide logistic support, provide technical support, provide field service support, provide training, develop technical manuals and deliver the NSCV in the quantity specified in the resultant contract.

The required effort includes the associated Program and Data Management; Government Furnished Property; Meeting and Reviews; System Engineering; Producibility; Testing and Verification; Environment, Safety, and Occupational Health; Human Factors; Test Support; Configuration Management; Engineering Drawings; Item Unique Identification; Technical Publications; Packaging, Handling, Storage and Transportation; Transportability; and Contractor Performance Measurement.

It is anticipated that this effort will include procurement, fielding, initial spares and New Equipment Training (NET) for up to an estimated 511 NSCVs, to include both Armored ( estimated 375) and Unarmored (estimated 136). The contract will encompass all eligible Lifecycle Replacement (LCR) vehicles and Emerging Requirements throughout a 7 year ordering period.
