CBP Air and Marine Operations (AMO) requires engineering services necessary to maintain the P-3 mission management system (MMS) software as well as access to Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) drawings for the P-3 Aircraft. Lockheed Martin Aeronautics (LM) is the original aircraft manufacturer of the P-3 aircraft and its mission management system (MMS) software. The services to be acquired are P-3 Mission Management System Engineering Support Services for a mixed fleet of fourteen P-3 aircraft consisting of both Airborne Early Warning (AEW) and Long-Range Tracking (LRT) configured aircraft. The MMS software was designed, developed, integrated, tested, and has historically been maintained by Lockheed Martin Aeronautics specifically for CBP’s P-3 mission. This support includes: P-3 Engineering Support for the MMS to include: On site representation is required at two Operational Centers located in Jacksonville, FL and Corpus Christie, TX On site MMS support services for day-to-day software support/troubleshooting, upgrades, structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering changes related to the MMS.
