PEARL HARBOR, Hawaii (NNS) -- Naval Facilities Engineering
Command (NAVFAC) Pacific awarded a $45.4 million firm-fixed-price task order
under a multiple award construction contract to Guam MACC Builders A JV for the
design and construction of a high bay maintenance hangar at Andersen Air Force
Base (AAFB), Guam March 27.
The hangar will be used to support forward operations and
maintenance functions for the Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) MQ-4C BAMS
platform. The MQ-4C work to be performed includes interior and enclosed
maintenance space to accomplish scheduled inspections, airframe repairs,
pre-and post-flight operations, as well as technical order compliance and
aircraft modifications.
"The addition of maintenance and hangar facilities at
Andersen Air Force Base for the Navy's MQ-4C Triton Unmanned Aircraft System
further demonstrates the investment being made by the Dept. of Defense to
increase our capability in the Marianas as we rebalance to the Pacific,"
said Rear Adm. Tilghman Payne, Commander, Joint Region Marianas.
The contract also contains two unexercised options, which if
exercised, would increase cumulative task order value to $46.7 million. Work
will be performed on AAFB and is expected to be completed by April 2016.
This contract was competitively procured via the Navy
Electronic Commerce Online website, with six proposals received for this task
order.
