PD Power Systems and Aviation Ground Equipment have won positions on a potential 10-year, $482 million contract to test and produce 72-kilowatt ground power units for the U.S. Air Force.
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Robins Air Force Base in Georgia is the contracting activity and received eight proposals for the indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract, the Department of Defense said Friday.
The service branch is using fiscal 2023 procurement funds to finance the IDIQ contract and is obligating $22 million to Aviation Ground Equipment and $5.9 million to PD Power Systems.
The contract also includes testing and production of 144kW ground power units and universal load banks and delivery of test reports and technical manuals.
The two vendors will perform work at their respective sites in Virginia and New York through Nov. 17, 2032.
