The Army yesterday said it anticipates issuing a new cost-plus-incentive-fee (CPIF) contract to General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc. (GA-ASI) for pre-planned software improvements so additional payloads can be integrated on the Gray Eagle Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) platform.
These improvements will require design, development, fabrication, integration, and testing for MQ-1C Gray Eagle UAS Pre-Planned Product Improvement (P3I) Blocks 2-4, which include spare parts and consumables.
The new contract also will include an option for development test (DT)/limited user test (LUT) for Warfighter Information Network-Tactical (WIN-T) to include repair parts and procurement of consumables for test and evaluation.
The estimated period of performance would be 38 months from the date of the award.
Army Contracting Command Redstone yesterday issued the presolicitation on FedBizOps.gov. Firms that can meet the subject requirement may submit a proposal by Feb. 17 that will be considered. All responses must be submitted in writing to: Mesha DeRamus, Contract Specialist, at [email protected].
This requirement will be incrementally funded with Research Development Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) funds, and is subject to the availability of the funds, the service said.
