OPTION PRICING VS TIER PRICING

• Base and Option Year Contract Pricing vs. Tier Contract Pricing 

– The tier contract pricing approach embraces the concept of a multi-year ordering period. The base and option contract pricing approach embraces 

the concept of a base year ordering period with an option to extend the 

term for multiple years, one additional year at a time. 

– A Guaranteed Minimum Quantity (Generally 25% of AEQ) applies to both. 

However, for tier pricing, there is a single Guaranteed Minimum Quantity 

for the first tier/year only. Whereas, for base and option pricing, there are 

multiple Guaranteed Minimum Quantities, one for the base year and each 

option year. 

– A Maximum Quantity (Generally 125% of AEQ) applies to both. However, 

for tier pricing there is a single Contract Maximum Quantity for the life of 

the contract. Whereas, for base and option pricing, there are multiple 

Maximum Quantities, one for the base year and each option year. 

– A Maximum Monthly Quantity and Quarterly Delivery Orders apply to 

both.

Program Background

• Currently there is no contact glove (CG) in the USMC system for issue.

• Through a US Army Natick Soldier Center RDT&E contract, PM IW developed a government-owned 

design CG in 1QFY21. 

• Gov design based off Marine feedback following FY19 Winter LUE of COTS CGs in CW 

environments.

o FY21 Government Design Winter LUE: Both temperate and CW versions tested in Norway and at 

Mountain Warfare Training Center.

o FY21 Winter User Evaluation Findings:

 Marines liked the design and sizing overall.

 More durable materials with improved water resistance needed; unacceptable level of failures in 

the field.

 Way ahead: Update materials, optimize design & focus on CW version.
