Pentagon Contract Announcement: USAF Orders C-130J-30 for Israel

Lockheed Martin Corp., Marietta, Ga., is being awarded a $58,337,555 firm-fixed-price contract for a not-to-exceed (NTE) option exercise to Lockheed Martin.

This modification will exercise the NTE option for the acquisition of a third C-130J-30 aircraft for the government of Israel minus the planning and advance long lead procurement of aircraft components to support the third Israeli aircraft, which was previously authorized under another FA8625-11-C-6597 undefinitized contract action.

The location of the performances is Marietta, Ga. Work is expected to be completed by Nov. 30, 2014.

ASC/WLNN, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, is the contracting activity
