Each year, the National Combat Ration Program (NCRP) produces
IMPs that are used for training exercises, deployed operations
or in emergency situations when the situation does not permit
the use of fresh rations. The IMP consists of various food and
non-food items packaged in an overwrap bag.

The IMP components, including the retort pouch meals in their
cardboard sleeves (See Appendix 1 to Annex A), are procured from
various components suppliers who then ship the components to the
Assembler Contractor. The Assembler Contractor is responsible to
insert all the individual components, including retort pouches
in their cardboard sleeves inside the overwrap. The combat
ration assembly process begins in the first days of 2015. All
combat ration component contracts state a specific delivery
period to ensure timely receipt and inspection of all
components. It is the component contractor's responsibility to
ensure there is sufficient product to sustain the first assembly
period and maintain the assembly line.

Delivery Date: Above-mentioned
