The Government is conducting this market survey to determine the interest and capability of industry to participate in a competitive acquisition for The Urban Operations Platoon, Engineering Equipment Kit.

This Kit will provide the engineer, infantry, military police and other military units with a set of tools uniquely designed for urban operations that will cover the wide spectrum of mission needs.
