On May 22nd, 2009, RBC announced that it had completed and submitted a proposal to the Naval Air Systems Command for a five year contract to provide technical and program management services to the Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance Aircraft (MPRA) Program Office (PMA-290). This contract will provide support to Air Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), Anti-Surface Warfare (ASUW), and Command, Control, Communications, Computers & Intelligence (C4I) programs for multiple aircraft platforms including the P-8A Poseidon, the P-3 Orion, and the S-3 Viking. The work will include support for international Cooperative Agreement Programs for P-8A and a large International Programs Department providing support to 16 operational P-3 countries. The P-8A Poseidon is an ACAT 1D program which will replace the aging P-3 aircraft. The Statement of Work (SOW) describes the effort as requiring management and technical support services through all acquisition phases including research, design and development, engineering, test and evaluation, training, aircraft modification, repair, in-service engineering, and life-cycle support.
RBC Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Ken Stepanuk, expressed optimism that RBC would be selected for the award stating “RBC has been the principle support contractor for PMA-290 for more than thirty years, and our proposal provides the only Team that can successfully support the transition of war fighting capability from the P-3 to the P-8A with no interruption of services”. RBC’s proposal provided a Team of company employees and employees from fifteen subcontractors. The proposal was provided in response to a Request For Proposal (RFP) released under the Sea Port contract.
