NASA AWARDS CALIFORNIA AIRCRAFT SUPPORT CONTRACT TO BOEING
EDWARDS, Calif. - NASA has awarded a contract to The Boeing Company,
St. Louis, for engineering and technical support of several
specialized research aircraft at NASA's Dryden Flight Research
Center.
The sole-source, indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract may
be worth up to $28 million during its five-year performance period
now through April 2012.
Boeing will provide engineering and technical support for four heavily
modified high-performance aircraft: two F-15s and two F/A-18s. The
aircraft have been modified to conduct a variety of flight research
missions in support of NASA and other government agencies and private
industry.
Technical assistance under the pact may include providing design
support for unique Boeing aircraft systems, assisting in ground
support operations and reviewing additional planned aircraft
modifications. The contractor may be required to modify control
systems hardware and software, perform modifications and fabricate
experimental hardware for these aircraft, along with performing
specific research studies using Boeing-developed models and
simulators. In addition, the contract calls for Boeing to provide
similar support, as needed, for other Boeing-built aircraft that NASA
may acquire during the contract period.
