This initiative is critical for maintaining the operational effectiveness of the P-8A platform, with plans to procure one system anticipated for delivery in fiscal year 2025. Interested parties must submit a Capability Statement by email to Amanda Ellerbe and Ronald Hickman within 15 calendar days of the notice, detailing their qualifications and approach to the project.
