Low Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night (LANTIRN) USAF Sustaining Engineering Services

The government awarded a contract for engineering services for sustainment of the AAQ-13 Navigation Pod, sub-assemblies, and Line Replaceable Units (LRU's). Sustainment consists of the evaluation and resolution of system maintenance deficiencies, resolution of parts obsolescence deficiencies, integration between F-15E and the LANTIRN Nav pod, performance of sustainment studies and technical services in support of the analysis, review of Government engineering change proposals, reliability and maintainability (R&M), and Information Assurance (IA) support. This was a Sole Source award to the OEM. Cost plus fixed fee was used because the requirement (tasks) could not be adequately defined in order to use firm fixed price.
