RAYTHEON AWARDED ADDITIONAL SERVICES FOR NETWORK-CENTRIC COOPERATIVE ENGAGEMENT CAPABILITY EFFORT
WASHINGTON -- Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems, of St. Petersburg, Florida, has been awarded a $61,992,392 cost-plus-fixed-fee, cost-only modification to previously awarded contract (N00024-13-C-5212), from the United States Navy, for Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) design agent and engineering services requirements.

This contract combines purchases for the Navy (86 percent) and the governments of Australia (9 percent) and Japan (5 percent) under the foreign military sales (FMS) program. Work will be performed in St. Petersburg, Florida, and is expected to be completed by September 2019.
Fiscal 2018 and 2017 research, development, test and evaluation (Navy); 2018 other procurement (Navy); foreign military sales (Australia, Japan); fiscal 2018 operations and maintenance (Navy and Marine Corps), funding in the amount of $8,617,678 will be obligated at the time of award and funds in the amount of $690,772 will expire at the end of the current fiscal year.
The U.S. Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command, Washington, District of Columbia, is the contracting activity.
