E-6B Airframe Service Life Sustainment Support (ASLSS)

The Boeing Company, based in Wichita, Kansas, was awarded a cost-plus fixed-price delivery order valued at 5,989,487 dollars under a Basic Ordering Agreement with the Naval Air Systems Command. This contract provides the necessary supplies and services to plan, manage, and execute engineering support for the U.S. Navy's E-6B aircraft Service Life Sustainment effort. The work is centered at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, with an expected completion date in September 2011. This effort is part of the broader E-6B Airframe Service Life Sustainment Support and Service Life Extension Program. Due to Boeing's proprietary rights and a lack of sufficient technical data available to other vendors, Boeing Aerospace Operations was identified as the sole source for critical tasks, including IATS software development, aircraft component testing, and Engineering Change Proposals. The overall estimated value for these specialized program requirements was projected at 14,200,000 dollars.
