FLIR Order under BOA

The Naval Air Systems Command plans to issue a modification under an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to Raytheon Corporation, the original equipment manufacturer, for the procurement of AN/AAQ-29A Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) B-Kits. Each B-Kit includes a Turreted FLIR Unit, a Systems Electronic Unit, and the necessary associated hardware and software, intended to support the Helicopter Night Vision System (HNVS). This effort aims to replace the existing Q-16B FLIR systems currently installed on in-service aircraft, enhancing the night vision capabilities. The contract, referenced under solicitation number MH-53-ReferenceNumber-10-29-08 and posted in June 2009, is part of the Department of Defense’s initiative to maintain and improve critical aviation systems. The work is coordinated through the Naval Air Systems Command located in Patuxent River, Maryland. Key contacts for this contract include Contract Specialist Shelley R Mentzos and Contract Officer Ronald N Guy, who oversee the procurement and contract execution processes. This modification incorporates specific provisions noted in numbered notes 22 and 26, aligning the performance and delivery requirements with operational needs.
