Marine Corps Common Hardware Suite (MCHS) is an IT hardware procurement contract for the United States Marine Corps operating forces and the United States Department of the Navy. MCHS is a five-year, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity, multiple-award contract for commercial-off-the-shelf computer systems, including ruggedized and non-ruggedized desktops and laptops, as well as servers and other associated computer equipment and accessories.[1] The Marine Corps Common Hardware Suite is intended to provide common computing platforms and global logistics support for hardware purchased by Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM). MCHS is intended to allow the Marine Corps to gain economies of scale and lower prices by bundling its technology requirements into a single contract[2]
