THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION. No contract is anticipated to be awarded from this announcement.� This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP) or an announcement of a forthcoming solicitation.� Also, it is not a request seeking contractors interested in being placed on a solicitation mailing list.� Response to this questionnaire is voluntary and no reimbursement will be made for any costs associated with providing information in response to this market survey and any follow-on information requests.� No solicitation document exists at this time, and calls requesting a solicitation will not be answered.

The NAICS code for this acquisition is 336992. For a RECAP program, a contractor may be required to execute a Public-Private Partnership agreement with Red River Army depot for the seed vehicle disassembly and body refurbishment work.� The refurbished body will then be sent to the contractor for production of a new HMMWV ECV variant rolling chassis, powertrain, B-kit armor, AIP, other new production components and final vehicle assembly. RECAP programs may require the conversion of seed vehicles to a different variant (e.g., M1151 seed converted to a M1167 RECAP vehicle, M1151 seed converted to an M1152 RECAP vehicles, etc.).
