AH-1 COBRA HELICOPTER

The AH-1 Cobra Helicopter program represents a Department of Defense acquisition initiative focused on the Bell AH-1 Cobra, an attack helicopter platform. The program, identified by acquisition number AHM-MDP, appears to encompass procurement and sustainment activities related to the aircraft system. Based on the contract data provided, the program was active during the 1980s, suggesting this represents a mature phase of the platform's lifecycle.

The contract portfolio consists of twenty federal contract awards spanning from 1984 to 1989, with individual award values ranging from $32,000 to $2.9 million. The majority of awards were structured as Firm Fixed Price delivery orders, with a smaller number of definitive contracts. No set-aside designations were utilized across any of the contracts. The total obligated value across all contracts was approximately $9.4 million, with the largest single award being a $2.9 million delivery order in September 1985. Contract actions appear to be predominantly procurement and support related, given the pricing structure and regular intervals of awards. Notably, all contracts maintained a $0 ceiling value, suggesting they were fully funded at time of award rather than utilizing incremental funding approaches.
