<strong>Army</strong> <strong>MRAP</strong> <strong>Vehicle</strong> <strong>Program</strong> <strong>Program</strong>matic <strong>Environmental</strong> Assessment December 2010<br />

has designated the JMVP as Department of Defense’s (DoD) highest priority acquisition<br />

program. The production capacity of multiple manufacturers employing Commercial<br />

Off‐The‐Shelf (COTS) technology is being leveraged to meet the program's overarching<br />

objective of producing and fielding the maximum number of survivable, safe and<br />

sustainable <strong>MRAP</strong> vehicles in the shortest period of time. Unlike traditional acquisition<br />

programs, <strong>MRAP</strong> proposed actions were carried out prior to the completion and<br />

approval of some of the acquisition documentation, including this PEA, to meet wartime<br />

demands.<br />

On 9 November 2006, the USMC awarded a sole source Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite<br />

Quantity (ID/IQ) contract to Force Protection Industries, Incorporated (FPII) for up to<br />

200 Category (CAT) II vehicles (Cougar) and up to 80 CAT III vehicles (Buffalo) to expedite<br />

deliveries to theater while a competitive procurement continued for the remaining<br />

vehicles.<br />

Concurrently, the USA and USMC released a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) for<br />

CAT I vehicles and the bulk of CAT II vehicles. On 26 January 2007, ID/IQ contracts were<br />

awarded to nine manufacturers that initially demonstrated capabilities to meet the<br />

program's stated objectives. The nine manufacturers are listed in Table 1. Eight of the<br />

nine Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) provided <strong>MRAP</strong> vehicles as test assets.<br />
