As the amphibious combat vehicle (ACV) enters the production and delivery phase. The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) will consider additional items from subcontractors to increase the cumulative value of the framework. The Department of Defense first ordered this platform in June 2018. Since then, additional units and new variants have been incorporated into the framework until the contract value reaches $ 2.5 billion. But now, the U.S.
The government has increased the cumulative value of the program to $2.8 billion as of April 4, 2024. Ultimately, the United States plans to procure 4,350 of his ACVs from his OEM BAE Systems between 2018 and 2040. According to the Department of Defense, this latest change provides for the “addition of subcontract item numbers for the procurement of three production representative test vehicles for ACV recovery and test support.” In DoD terminology, this means that the contract is broken by the procured goods. This provides transparency and allows people to identify the supplies and services they purchase as separate items.
