3.0 PROGRAM BACKGROUND

Currently, GPS-BRIE requirements are satisfied through multiple orders against the Combat Environment Instrumentation Systems (CEIS) II Multiple Award Contract (MAC) N68936-23-D-0013. Because the delivery orders expected under the contemplated GPS-BRIE contract are so integrally related, only a single source can efficiently perform the work; therefore, the resultant contract is anticipated to be a Single Award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) with a combination of Cost Plus Fixed-Fee (CPFF), Cost, and Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs).
