David Packard Excellence in Acquisition Award received by Marine Corps Systems Command/Stratecon Acquisition Support Team for the Joint Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) Vehicle Program
November 5, 2008 - Stratecon is proud to announce that we are being recognized as a member of the Marine Corps Systems Command Team receiving the David Packard Award for the Joint MRAP Vehicle Program. Stratecon has been providing acquisition support as a member of the Joint MRAP Vehicle since program initiation.
The David Packard Excellence in Acquisition Award is established to recognize Department of Defense (DOD) civilian and/or military organizations, groups, or teams, who have made highly significant contributions which demonstrated exemplary innovation and best acquisition practices. These are multiple awards reflecting achievements that exemplify goals and objectives established for furthering life cycle cost reduction and/or acquisition excellence in DOD.
The Joint MRAP Vehicle Program (JMVP) has been presented the David Packard Excellence in Acquisition Award for the rapid deployment, acquisition, and fielding of the MRAP family of vehicles. An initial joint Urgent Operational Needs Statement in October 2006 for 1,185 vehicles set the stage for an astounding acquisition effort in 2007.Using competitive prototyping, astute industrial base analysis and management, and flexible, creative, and accelerated fielding and sustainment, the JMVP placed 11,904 vehicles on order and fielded over 1,500 vehicles during the year.
While meeting statutory requirements, the Joint Program Office (JPO) simultaneously budgeted, contracted, tested, produced, integrated, fielded, and sustained the highly survivable MRAP fleet. Additionally, the JPO embarked on major upgrades to vehicle protection, load capacity and mobility, in response to Warfighter feedback and evolving threats. This accelerated acquisition program has saved many lives and made an exponential contribution to combat effectiveness on the Global War on Terror.
