Re L0701 I had to check to verify our content was in this contract; I can confirm we are in this contract in the medium category and maybe the light and heavy as well. Rack em up.

Work will be performed in McKinney, TX (65%), and Goleta, CA (35%), and other north Texas locarions, and is expected to be complete by June 30, 2012. Bids were solicited via the World Wide Web on March 9, 2007, and 3 bids were received by the U.S. Army Research, Development, and Engineering Command at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD (W91CRB-07-D-0029).
Raytheon will begin supplying improved AN/PAS-13 thermal weapon sights in December 2007, beginning with this delivery order for approximately 5,000 systems. The entire indefinite delivery-indefinite quantity program is potentially worth $2.6 billion and could result in the delivery of up to 150,000 during the 5-year, firm-fixed-price contract. The latest sights will feature technology improvements that result in lower power requirements, reduced size and weight, and improved commonality, making Mission Support more efficient and economical during the life of the equipment. Raytheon was the first government-qualified supplier of AN/PAS-13 light, medium, and heavy thermal weapon sights, and has delivered in excess of 28,000 to the Army. Raytheon release. |
