The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division, is set to modify contract N63394-06-D-1170, a Cost Plus Award Fee type contract, to extend its period of performance by six months through June 30, 2010. This extension is intended to ensure continuous engineering and technical support for the Aegis Weapon System.
