AV-8B Harrier II Remanufacture

The AV-8B Harrier II Remanufacture program is a Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) managed by the Department of Defense under the Major Capability Acquisition pathway. The program focuses on the remanufacturing and sustainment of the AV-8B Harrier II vertical/short takeoff and landing (V/STOL) aircraft. This acquisition program supports both U.S. Naval Aviation requirements as well as foreign military partners, including Italy and Spain, through various procurement actions.

The contract awards associated with this program primarily consist of firm-fixed-price delivery orders for naval aviation components and support services, with contract values ranging from several thousand dollars to over $7 million. The largest single award was a SeaPort-e delivery order valued at approximately $7.3 million for program management and engineering support services, with performance extending through January 2014. Most contracts were awarded without set-aside designations, with only one instance of a small business set-aside noted. Contract durations typically ranged from 6 months to 18 months, with awards being administered primarily through naval contracting offices. The program includes international cooperation elements, evidenced by contract descriptions referencing support for Italian and Spanish joint program offices (JPO).
