The base quantity is expected to be 10,000 restraints (2,500 kits for 4-door HMMWV vehicles). Req uirements planning includes up to an additional 100,000 restraints, (5,000 kits for 2-door HMMWV vehicles/= 10,000 restraints, plus 20,000 kits for 4-door HMMWV vehicles/= 80,000 restraints) within 6 months to a year of contract award.
