Incorporation of Restrictor into EA-18G Avionics Distribution System to Maintain Cabin Flow at or Above Minimal Level

The Naval Air Systems Command awarded a firm fixed price order to The Boeing Company of St. Louis, Missouri, under Basic Ordering Agreement N00019-11-G-0001. This contract focuses on the Non-Recurring Engineering Retrofit portion of Engineering Change Proposal 6399, which involves the incorporation of a restrictor into the EA-18G Avionics Distribution System. The primary objective of this modification is to ensure that cabin flow is maintained at or above the minimal required level, and the procurement specifically provides the technical publications necessary to support the maintenance of the retrofitted aircraft. This action was conducted on a sole source basis, as detailed in Class Justification and Approval 10-218C. The justification identifies Boeing as the only responsible source for these supplies and services due to its status as the Original Equipment Manufacturer for the F/A-18 and EA-18G weapon systems. This specific order falls under a broader procurement framework for the fiscal years 2011 through 2015, with the overall agreement estimated at approximately 1.59 billion dollars.
