Analysis and testing under CIP will be done to resolve safety and readiness problems; maintain specification performance; redesign low reliability parts; forecast hardware wear-out rates, life limits, and problems before they occur in the Fleet; and develop quality design changes and repair procedures where a return-on-investment can be realized.

The period of performance for these task orders will be one year. This award is based on Title 10 U.S.C 2304(c)(1), whereby the supplies or services required are available from only one source, and no other type of supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.
