The current contract provides engineering, certification, Organization Designation Authorization (ODA), and project management services for aircraft modification, certification, continued operational airworthiness, and fleet modernization activities. This will be a follow-on requirement to FAA contract 6973GH-22-D-00031. The incumbent is Delta Engineering Corporation (SAM UEI: MJNYMCPK6M18). The preponderance of work under this contract is performed under a Labor Hour (LH) contract type.
