Heavy mileage in a war zone has predictable effects. Things break, and maintenance piles up. This results in a number of very unglamorous but necessary contracts. Like the $8.8 million delivery order amount General Dynamics Land Systems in Muskegon, MI was recently awarded for serviceable HMPT500-3ECA Transmissions. It’s part of a $48.8 million firm-fixed-price contract that involves taking broken M2/M3 Bradley Fighting Vehicle Transmissions provided by the government, rebuilding/ repairing them, and handing back working transmissions.
Work will be performed in Muskegon, MI and is expected to be completed by April 18, 2007. Contract funds will not expire at the end of the current fiscal year. Bids were solicited via the World Wide Web on Dec. 10, 2002, and one bid was received. The U.S. Army Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command in Warren, MI issued the contract (DAAE07-03-D-N118).
