The procurement includes four separate option periods of 25 units each for the same components, with an estimated total procurement supporting U.S. Navy Link-16 system modernization requirements. The contract will be performed at McClellan Park, CA 95652, and requires the contractor to provide genuine hardware with no third-party or counterfeit substitutions, along with full-service support, upgrades, and warranty.
