PMA-261 intends to submit a multi-year procurement request in accordance with Title 10 United States Code (U.S.C) 2306b in order to pursue a five-year fixed price type contract for FLIR Lots 9 through 13. In addition, upon receipt of authorization, Economic Order Quantity funding may be obligated in conjunction with a multi-year procurement.
