Sole Source Award Would Keep Boeing Flying GPS 2

摘要

The U.S. Air Force intends to forgo a competition and issue a sole-source contract to Boeing Integrated Defense Systems of St. Louis to continue operating the GPS 2 satellite constellation for up to seven more years, the service announced in a June 3 posting on the federal business opportunities Web site.rnBoeing developed and operates the current command and control system that flies the Boeing-built GPS 2A satellites and Lockheed Martin-built GPS 2R satellites and will operate the Boeing-built GPS 2F satellites when they begin launching later this year.
