About this opportunity

This Fixed Price Incentive Firm contract was awarded to LOCKHEED MARTIN CORP on February 2, 2024 by the Department of the Air Force Space Command for $65,997,761. The contract is to provide early design services for the Mobile User Objective System Service Life Extension Phase 1 program, as a Firm Fixed Price contract was deemed to not properly incentivize the contractor to control costs or submit a realistic bid for the initial design phase.

Notice text

This contract action is Fixed Price Incentive Firm and awarded competitively. 

An FFP contract was contemplated; however, there was concern that an FFP structure may incentivize a contractor to expend as little as possible to maximize their profit on the Phase 1 early design contract. Additionally, an FFP structure provides incentives for offerors to bid low in order to win. The FPIF structure discourages low bids and encourages offerors to compete by proposing as much early design maturity as they can deliver within the program funding.

Awarded contract FA880724CB001 to LOCKHEED MARTIN CORP for 65999761.00 on 2024-02-02.
