The Contractor shall identify and interact with the broad U.S. industrial base capable of supporting the range of equipment supported by the TACOM LCMC, to include TACOM equipment for which DLA is the procuring activity and TACOM/GVSC (as the designated equipment Engineering Support Activity/ESA) retains ultimate responsibility for configuration management and supportability.
