Scan Eagle Contract

Bingen, WA-based Insitu Inc. has been awarded a $300 million Scan Eagle unmanned aerial system support contract, the Pentagon announced this afternoon.

The firm-fixed-price, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract is for "hardware and operational and maintenance services in support of the Scan Eagle Unmanned Aerial Systems operated by the U.S. Special Operations Command," the Defense Department contract announcement reads, adding: "The hardware and services to be provided include replacement air vehicles, spare and consumable parts, and in-theatre field service representatives to supplement naval special warfare operators."

Work will take place in Bingen "and is expected to be completed in September 2016," according to DOD.

The Navy has obligated $85 million in fiscal year 2013 overseas contingency operations contract funds, all of which will expire at the end of this month, according to the statement.
