(a) MYC: WHAT IT MEANS AND WHEN IT'S USED

(1) MYC is an acquisition strategy for committing the Government to buy more than one year's requirements with a single (multi-year) contract award. The strategy applies to the acquisition of supplies and services, but it cannot be used for research and development. This commitment by the Government is intended to incentivize the contractor to conduct production and capitalization planning in a manner more consistent with commercial practices.
