Yarnell Pkwy, Clinton, TN for the following: 1 ea Power Hawk Assembly, P/N E2455-7500-2. This assembly is designed specifically for use with the Remotec Andros F6 robot already owned by the Massachusetts Air National Guard.

It will be awarded on an Unrestricted basis. The Justification and Approval (J&A) citing the authority of FAR 6.302-1, will be uploaded shortly for public inspection.
