On April 15, the US
Missile Defence Agency awarded Raytheon
Integrated Defense Systems a US$400 million Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite

fired by rogue states such as Iran.
The
effort will be accomplished through task orders, each with distinct scope and
pricing. The first task order will obligate US$5.28 million and will be limited
to site surveys, studies, analysis, planning, design and similar activities
specifically permitted in Section 226(d) of the FY08 National Defense
Authorization Act.
Additional

deployment will be conducted by or through the US
Army Corps of Engineers. Work will be performed at the contractor’s
facility and Europe and is expected to be completed by February 2013. This is a
sole source award. The contract funds will not expire at the end of the fiscal
year. ©
