1. The Government (Army Research Laboratory – ARL) requires the purchase of one (1) RMP generator. Cummins is the provider of the RMP generator and is the only compatible source with existing government Cummins RMP generators due to the proprietary nature of the design, such as the Advanced Medium Mobile Power Sources (AMMPS) currently in use. The other Government agencies that ARL are working with uses the Cummins RMP generators. Therefore, we need to purchase the same Cummins original equipment manufacturer (OEM) 60 RMP generator to maintain continuity of systems.
