Requirements for delivery may include but are not limited to: 1) Two each First Articles, 2) Technical Orders, 3) Assorted spares, 4) Priced production options, 5) Support equipment. Period of performance is expected to be 9 to 12 months, to include first article production, first article testing/approval and initial start of production deliveries. The initial Air Force (AF) buy will be approximately 500 units with requirements expecting to generate an additional requirement of approximately 1,500 units. The Navy and Army are expected to generate an additional requirement of approximately 1,500 units. The Navy and Army are expected to generate an additional requirement of approximately 12,000 units.
