The Defense Logistics Agency Troop Support (DLATS) is a Primary Level Field Activity and Inventory Control Point (ICP) of the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), Department of Defense (DOD). DLATS is seeking prospective vendors for the proposed acquisition of the Ramp Assembly/Mat Landing National Stock Number (NSN) 5680-01-333-5875. The Ramp Assembly is 6061-T6 aluminum extrusions and has the same connectors as AM2 matting and conforms to AM2, Mod 5 landing mat specifications. It provides an easier transition between the ground/pavement and the AM2 matting surface as well as to help prevent excessive roughness to the aircraft. A smoother transition can help prevent vibrations and jarring that could cause fatigue damage to the aircraft. It also helps minimize aircraft dynamic response, and increases aircraft performance.
