The Government may, in the future, procure one system from each respondent through local commercial sources for a limited test at a non-Government facility. The government is testing these systems to determine the reliability, availability, and maintainability (RAM) of the system and to assess the human factors aspects of carrying the system in a fast moving military scenario. Results of government testing data will be made available to each respondent upon request, with regards to their product. Responses should be submitted no later than 14 September 2000. This solicitation for information should not be construed as a commitment to procure the system and the Marine Corps does not intend to pay for any product samples or information received as a result of this announcement.
