Bell-Boeing Joint Project Office, Amarillo, Texas, is being awarded a $28,846,120 fixed-price-incentive, cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order against a previously issued basic ordering agreement (N00019-12-G-0006) to provide a new V-22 instrumented aircraft (NVIA).  The NVIA will support V-22 structural test capability by replacing an existing engineering, manufacturing, and development test aircraft which is increasingly difficult and expensive to support and not representative of current production configuration.  Additionally, the NVIA will support the V-22 development roadmap through improved, comprehensive flight test data with increased reliability/maintainability over existing aircraft.  Work will be performed in Amarillo, Texas (35 percent); Arlington, Texas (35 percent); Fort Worth, Texas (21 percent); Philadelphia, Pa. (8 percent); and Seattle, Wash. (1 percent).  Work is expected to be completed in December 2014.  Contract funds will not expire at the end of the current fiscal year.  The Naval Air Systems Command, Patuxent River, Md., is the contracting activity.
