The ATC requires the procurement of connecting and mechanical fastening equipment. The parts consist of the connectors and associated hardware used to construct the Army Modular Causeway System (MCS). OGI has no resellers (due to the proprietary nature of the connectors). There are no companies that manufacture a quote mark generic quote mark version of these connectors. The connectors have to be exactly the same as the Army MCS system to allow for the JUCIM module to connect to the Army MCS properly. If substandard connectors were used by some other source, then test personnel would be put at risk of harm. Also, funds spent to construct the JUCIM modules to this point would be wasted as the JUCIM systems would have to be scrapped after cancellation of the test program due to the aforementioned risk of using substandard and/or non -OGI.
