The U.S. Department of Defense’s (DoD) Monday digest of military contracts was smaller than average, and was highlighted by a $24 million modification to Navy deal for standard missile depot and intermediate level maintenance.
Raytheon Missile Systems, who was given the contract, will also provide all-up-round recertifications, repairs and maintenance to the standard missile-2, and other maintenance tasks.
More than $12.5 million in fiscal 2016 operations and maintenance funding will be assigned with the award, and will expire at the end of the 2015 fiscal year. The majority of the labor (89.8 percent) will be conducted in Tucson, Ariz., with the remaining work taking place throughout the U.S. All of the labor should be finished by December 2016.
Northrop Grumman Systems is being given $10.2 million after an option on a Navy contract was exercised to build, install, and test modifications to the E-6B aircraft, integrating various Multi-Role Tactical Common Data links.
None of the funds being awarded with the firm-fixed-price contract will expire at the end of the 2015 fiscal year. The majority of the labor (75 percent) will be performed in Salt Lake City, with the remaining work taking place in San Diego. All of the labor is slated to be finished in September 2017.
