E-3A SPEC ELECTRONIC INSTALLATION

The E-3A SPEC ELECTRONIC INSTALLATION program is a Department of Defense acquisition program focused on specialized electronic systems and radar equipment for the E-3A aircraft platform. The program encompasses engineering, development, installation and maintenance of advanced electronics, communications equipment, and airborne radar systems. Based on the contract documentation, this appears to be a long-running program that has supported both new capability development and sustained engineering of existing systems.

The program's contract awards from 1988-2023 have primarily involved delivery orders for engineering technical services, systems engineering, electronics and communications equipment development, and radar equipment integration. Contract values ranged from approximately $1,000 to over $143 million, with performance periods typically spanning 1-5 years. The Boeing Company (including Boeing Aerospace Operations) and Lockheed Martin Integrated Systems were the primary contractors, with work primarily performed in Seattle, Washington, Midwest City, Oklahoma, and Bethesda, New Jersey. The contracts were predominantly funded through the Air Force's Electronic Systems Center (ESC) and Air Logistics Centers, with no set-aside designations used. The most common contract types were Firm Fixed Price and Time & Materials delivery orders, frequently supporting Research, Development, Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) activities for aircraft and electronic systems.
