USMC Corpsman Assault Pack inbound

Just this morning, the Marine Corps issued an RFI for the Corpsman Assault Pack (CAP). The CAP was referenced with a placeholder in the Marine Corps Pack System (previously known as FILBE) contract and the pack is a USMC owned design.  So, they are putting this out to see who wants to sew it for them, not to solicit ideas on its design.

The Corps is looking for 10,000 packs, total, each one consisting of the Corpsman Assault Pack, 18 medical inserts, a sustainment bag, trauma pouch, and thigh rig.
