The Government intends to consolidate draft RFP's W91CRB-16-R-0023 and W91CRB-16-R-0024, formerly entitled Redstone Wide Engineering Services (RWES) and Redstone Wide Support Services (RWSS) into one solicitation. The new solicitation will be entitled, "Redstone Test Center (RTC) Wide Engineering and Support Services" (RWESS). The following current contracts will be consolidated under RWESS: Climatic, Dynamic and Propulsion Support Services (W31P4Q-16-0003), Missiles and Sensors Test Support Services (W91CRB-16-D-0009), Environmental and Component Test Directorate Support Services (W31P4Q-11-D-0008) and Aviation Flight Test Directorate Engineering Test Support Services (GSQ0415DB0020).
