 September 28, 2003

J.F. Taylor, Inc. (JFTI) was notified today that the company has been awarded a contract to provide cost estimating, analysis, and earned value management support for NAVAIR. This contract has a ceiling of $10 million and a period of performance of five years.

JFTI’s engineers, cost analysts, and project managers will work with Navy personnel on Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) to evaluate and etimate costs for aircraft, components and subsystems, missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), ordnance, and support related items. This support involves cost and data analyses or comparisons, independent evaluations, case studies, and recommendations for these products. Cost analysis services span all phases of a product’s life cycle from concept exploration through development to deployment and operational support.

“We have provided similar program and financial management services to the U.S. Navy for about 10 years,” said John Taylor, Sr., company President and founder. “However, we have more than 20 years of experience with the technical aspects of Naval Aviation systems and equipment, which is particularly applicable to analyzing emerging systems and determining their life cycle costs.   We look forward to working with AIR 4.2 under this contract.”

This contract was competitively procured and will run through September 2008 with work being performed locally.
