PENTAGON -- The Boeing Co., St. Louis, Missouri, is awarded a $22,632,221 firm-fixed-price task order (N0001918F1512) against a previously issued basic ordering agreement (N00019-16-G-0001) to procure the non-recurring engineering required for the redesign of the Data Bus Interface Unit and the Deployable Flight Incident Recorder of the Deployable Flight Incident Recording Set (DFIRS) in support of F/A-18 A-F and EA-18G aircraft for the Navy and the government of Australia.

The redesigns will address obsolescence issues, as well as provide for additional memory and a 406 MHz beacon capability.

Fiscal 2018 aircraft procurement (Navy); and foreign military sales funds in the amount of $22,632,221 will be obligated at time of award, none of which will expire at the end of the fiscal year. This order combines purchases for the Navy ($21,267,538; 94 percent); and the government of Australia ($1,364,684; 6 percent), under the Foreign Military Sales program.

The Naval Air Systems Command, Patuxent River, Maryland, is the contracting activity.
