Oshkosh Defense has received an $11 million modification to an Army contract for the upgrade of 100 Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) all-terrain vehicles, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) announced in its Monday publication of military labor agreements.
More than $1 million in fiscal 2016 funds were assigned with the contract. The labor will be conducted in Oshkosh, Wis., and should be finished on Oct. 31, 2016.
Northrop Grumman Systems will be awarded a $99.9 million Defense Information Systems Agency contract for KGV-72 Type I Programmable Inline Encryption Devices (PIEDs). According to the DoD, the KGV-72 PIEDS allow for the secure handling of classified messaging traffic through the Joint Battle Command-Platform (JBC-P) program.
The indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity, firm-fixed-price contract has a five year base, and includes five one-year option periods. Two proposals were submitted for the contract. The labor will be conducted in Rochester, N.Y., and should be finished on Nov. 15, 2020.
Lockheed Martin Mission Systems and Training will be given a $36.7 million modification to a Navy contract for Aegis Platform Systems Engineering Agent (PSEA) actions and Aegis Modernization Advanced Capability Build engineering.
According to the DoD, “The Aegis PSEA manages the in-service combat systems configurations as well as the integration of new or upgraded capability into the CG57 class of ships and the DDG 51 class of ships.” The modernization of Aegis will improve related cruisers and destroyers and can be assimilated with all Aegis ships using a Baseline 2 cruiser-compatible computer system.
More than $5.5 million of the funds being assigned at the time of the award will expire at the end of the 2015 fiscal year. Nearly all of the work (99 percent) will be performed in Moorestown, N.J., and should be finished by September 2016.
Boeing was awarded a maximum $22.7 million Defense Logistics Agency delivery order for aircraft vertical stabilizers. The U.S. Air Force will benefit from the services provided from the contract, which was a sole source acquisition. The labor will be conducted in Missouri, and should be finished on June 30, 2017.
