The modification extends the base contract period and the period of performance (PoP) under TO 0009, which is currently scheduled to end on December 31, 2025. The estimated total dollar value for this extension is approximately [redacted] million, funded through Research, Development, Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) funds. The work involves completing unfinished design and manufacturing drawings and actual manufacture of a [redacted] mounting structure, including procurement of additional components such as bearing shell castings and assembly procedures for installing the prototype bearing mounting structure onto the bearing shell in support of a [redacted] project. The justification for sole-source award cites GA's unique positioning as the only source capable of continuing development and production due to its exclusive expertise in detailed design, manufacturing knowledge, and technical capabilities for this specialized component. The document notes that GA has completed three multi-coil spring prototypes and is currently programming machines for production anticipated to start in September 2025, with manufacturing drawings expected to be finalized by February 2026. The contract was previously awarded competitively, and a follow-on competitive solicitation is currently underway for future work.
