E-2C Reproduction

The E-2C Reproduction program is a Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP) managed under the Major Capability Acquisition pathway with an Acquisition Category IC designation. The program appears to focus on sustainment, reproduction, and modernization of E-2C Hawkeye aircraft systems, including radar systems, power plants, communications equipment, and associated support systems. This acquisition program supports the maintenance and upgrade of mission-critical aircraft systems through a combination of hardware procurement, engineering services, and repair activities.

The program's contract awards range from small purchase orders of approximately $50,000 to major system acquisitions exceeding $250 million, with typical contract durations of 12-36 months. Primary acquisitions include T56-A-427 power section module repairs, AN/APS-145 radar sustainment, electronic warfare systems, and mission computer upgrades. Notable contract actions include a $252 million Cost Plus Incentive contract for E-2D In-Flight Refueling and a $45.7 million award for AN/ALQ-217 French Electronic Support Measure units. The Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command serves as the primary contracting authority, with no small business set-asides observed across the contract portfolio. The majority of contracts utilize Firm Fixed Price arrangements, though Cost Plus Fixed Fee structures are common for engineering and sustainment services. While specific contractor names are limited in the data, the program appears to support both U.S. Navy and Foreign Military Sales requirements, particularly for the Japan Air Self Defense Force (JASDF) and French military.
