The Boeing Co., St. Louis, Missouri, is awarded a $24,999,480 firm-fixed-price order (N6134021F0119) against a previously issued basic ordering agreement (N6134019G0002). 

This order provides for the upgrade of the P-8A Poseidon maintenance training device suite, to include virtual maintenance trainers and related courseware and hardware in support of the P-8A aircraft platform to ensure the fleet receives training in current aircraft production baseline capabilities that align with real-life flight scenarios for the Navy and the government of Australia.

Work will be performed Jacksonville, Florida (60%); St. Louis, Missouri (15%); Seattle, Washington (15%); and Edinburgh, Australia (10%), and is expected to be completed in December 2023. Fiscal 2021 aircraft procurement (Navy) funds in the amount of $14,139,920; and non-U.S. Department of Defense participant funds in the amount of $10,859,560 will be obligated at time of award, none of which will expire at the end of the fiscal year. 

The Naval Air Systems Command, Patuxent River, Maryland, is the contracting activity.
