Description
The US Government, TACOM-ARDEC, intends to award a contract for a 24 month period of performance to provide sustainment support for the Munitions Survivability Software program developed by LESCO. The contract is to cover: 1) the development, installation and operation of a technical assistance capability in support of the Munitions Survivability Software (MSS) system currently in operation. This assistance is to include a toll free (800, 888, etc) number and email address; 2) MSS semi-annual updates including the ?Top 800? database information for single Department of Defense Identification Codes (DODICs) and for Mission Configured Loads (MCLs) and Unit Configured Loads (UCLs), and resolution of ?bugs? discovered/reported; and 3) other sustainment support to the MSS system as a minimum consisting of quarterly newsletters and an MSS website. This Sustainment Support will play an important role improving the safety and survivability of ammunition items in the tactical area. The Army recognizes the need to improve the safety and survivability of ammunition items in the tactical arena. The reduction in quantities of stocks coupled wit their increasing costs makes their survival critical to the accomplishment of US Army objectives.
