23 -- Logistics Vehicle System Replacement (LVSR)

The United States Marine Corps is seeking to replace its heavy tactical wheeled vehicle fleet through the Logistics Vehicle System Replacement (LVSR) program. This program aims to provide the Marine Corps with a versatile heavy lift vehicle capable of transporting a variety of cargo types, including bulk fuel and water, ammunition, bridge components, engineer equipment, and recovery capabilities. The planned solicitation for the System Development and Demonstration (SD&D) phase will be issued around June 16, 2003. The Marine Corps intends to award up to two Cost Plus Fixed Fee contracts during the third quarter of fiscal year 2004. Each contract will require the delivery of three prototype cargo variants of the LVSR to undergo rigorous testing and operational assessment to ensure they meet performance standards. Only contractors involved in this initial phase will be eligible to participate in the subsequent Production and Deployment phase. Detailed information about the Request for Proposal and updates will be made available on the Marine Corps Systems Command business opportunities website. The contracting officer overseeing this acquisition is Gabrielle E. Trickett, who can be contacted for further inquiries. The program is managed out of Quantico, Virginia, under the Department of Defense. This initiative underscores the Marine Corps’ commitment to modernizing its heavy vehicle fleet with advanced logistical capabilities to support a broad range of operational requirements.
