Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Advanced Testing and Technical Assistance (T&TA) for System Vulnerabilities and Assessments (ETFO Modification)

The Defense Threat Reduction Agency, under the Department of Defense, awarded an Exception to Fair Opportunity modification for Task Order HDTRA118F0002 to Leidos, Inc. for Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Advanced Testing and Technical Assistance for System Vulnerabilities and Assessments. This contract action was awarded on a cost-plus-fixed-fee basis, citing that Leidos, Inc. is the only awardee capable of providing the highly specialized and unique services required. Amendment 1 to the justification increased the contract value by 21 million dollars, bringing the total value to 40.3 million dollars. This funding increase was necessitated by a higher than expected burn rate and expanded requirements stemming from a Presidential Executive Order on National Resilience to EMPs. Additionally, the increased scope provides expanded support for the Missile Defense Agency and critical testing for the KC-46 tanker.
