The extension start date is 1 October 2011 through award of follow-on contract with an estimated award date of 31 December 2012. The contract was competitively awarded to Battlespace Flight Services, LLC to provide organizational-level (O-level) maintenance, weapons loading, logistics, equipment, and aerospace ground equipment (AGE) support at Creech AFB, NV and forward-deployed locations in Iraq and Afghanistan, and communications reach back support at Ramstein AB Germany. The contract extension must be operational on 1 October 2011 to meet current requirements at Creech AFB, Whiteman AFB, Ramstein AB, and various forward-deployed locations. All efforts on contract will carry over from the FY11 effort. There is also a contract option for MQ-1 O-level maintenance support at Grand Forks AFB, ND for approximately 40 sorties/320 flying hours per month with a tentatively scheduled start date of June 2012. Two potential new MQ-1 deployed locations projected to support up to 3 combat air patrols (CAPs) each, will be held as contract options until operational requirements dictate execution. As a result of this action, the contract value will increase in excess of $100M and will permit the continuation of performance of the current contract while the requirement is being recompeted.
