PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE EXTENSION FOR CONTRACT N63394-04-D-4000

The Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division, plans to modify contract N63394-04-D-4000 with BAE Systems, Land & Armaments, Inc. to extend the period of performance from June 6, 2009, to September 30, 2009, at no additional cost to the government. This extension is intended to facilitate ordering required quantities, meeting delivery schedules, and bridging the gap between the current MK38 MOD 2 production contract and the upcoming follow-on production contract expected in October 2009. BAE Systems, based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, is the sole known manufacturer of the MK 38 Systems, making this modification critical to maintaining production continuity. The anticipated date for the modification is March 6, 2009, under NAICS code 332994, which pertains to the manufacturing sector involved. This action is managed by the Department of Defense’s Commanding Officer at the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Port Hueneme Division, located in California. The contract extension aims to ensure the seamless delivery of MK38 MOD 2 systems without any increase in contract cost, maintaining operational readiness while transitioning to the next production phase.
