BAE acquisition United Defense LP in York, PA received a sole-source $16.7 million modification to a cost-plus-fixed-fee contract for “reset” of M2A3 Bradley Fighting Vehicles. Work will be performed in York, PA (83%), Aiken, SC (5%), San Jose, CA (8%), and Fayette, PA (4%), and is expected to be complete by Dec. 31, 2005.
“Reset” is a term used by the Land-Based Weapon Systems Group’s Long Term Contracts Team at Defense Supply Center Columbus (DSSC), to capture the business of repairing equipment and replenishing stocks used in Operation Iraqi Freedom. DSSC is responsible for acquisition support and readiness of numerous combat vehicles and related equipment for the U.S. Department of Defense.
The U.S. Army Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command in Warren, MI issued the contract (DAAE07-01-C-M016).
