The Naval Sea Systems Command intends to solicit for additional engineering support services for the Cooperative Engagement Capability (CEC) in FY00 with options for FY01 and FY02 under Contract N00024-98-C-5432.

This effort will continue to allow Raytheon to provide technical support for in-service CEC Baselines 1.0 and 2.0. The Navy has initiated a competition feasibility analysis. Preliminary findings indicate that competition may be feasible. That effort will be synopsized separately once the acquisition strategy has been finalized.
