Post-Processor software licenses and support services, including implementation, installation, training, and support that will aid in end user growth of the implemented WFL CNC Post Processor Millturn for Fleet Readiness Center Southeast

Fleet Readiness Center Southeast (FRCSE) is responsible for the maintenance, repair, overhaul, and technical services of aircraft, engines, and aeronautical components for the United States Navy. FRCSE utilizes a WFL milturn to produce various aircraft components and structural parts for F/A-18A-D, H-60, P-8 P-3, and other aircraft Currently the WFL. The WFL milturn does not have a post processor which greatly suppresses the machine’s ability to produce complex aerospace parts. The post processor is the crucial link between the upstream CAM software and the downstream machine. The post processor integrates the programs from the CAM software and integrates them into a language that can be understood and utilized by the downstream machine.

The anticipated Period of Performance is 1-year base period from date of award, with four, 1-year option periods for a total contract lifecycle of five years.
