The planned ordering period for the delivery order contract to be issued as a result of this solicitation is FY12 through FY16. This acquisition is a follow on to the current sole-source Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity contract currently being performed by Pratt & Whitney (FA8626-07-D-2073). A re-procurement data package is not available. The purpose of this synopsis is to determine whether any competitive sources exist. The National American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this procurement action is 336412.
