This is a $66,903,299.00 cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order contract awarded by the U.S. Air Force Electronic Systems Center to Georgia Tech Applied Research Corporation (GTARC) for the Communications Network Upgrade Increment 3 Task Order. The contract is part of the Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) Block 40/45 Upgrade, which is a Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) managed by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center. The program aims to modernize the E-3 AWACS aircraft by replacing legacy mission computers and operator consoles with new open-system architecture and enhanced computing capabilities. This task order will support the communications network upgrade efforts. While the overall AWACS program has issued some small business set-aside contracts, this particular award does not carry a set-aside designation. GTARC, a non-profit research organization affiliated with the Georgia Institute of Technology, frequently serves as both a prime contractor and subcontractor on major defense programs. For this task order, GTARC has subcontracted work to Hebco, Inc., a Native American-owned small disadvantaged business, to provide technical and engineering services.
