NO SOLICITATION EXISTS AT THIS TIME. The U.S. Marine Corps is conducting market research to seek sources, contract vehicles, technical information, and approximate costing for CLS of the RAC and RRC.

The maintenance/supply support is required to ensure the ability of operating forces to comply with training and operational requirements.

The RRC is a modified commercial 18 1/2 foot, fiberglass hull, dual 70 hp OMC outboard engine craft used in the riverine environment. There are 71 RRCs to be supported.
