About this award
Sierra Nevada Company, LLC (Greenwood Village, CO) was awarded a delivery order valued at $8.71 million by the Aeronautical Systems Center, a component of the U.S. Air Force, under the BIG SAFARI program on February 1, 2024. The contract utilizes cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing and is scheduled for completion by December 3, 2027. This delivery order was executed without a set-aside designation, reflecting the company's competitive positioning as a prime contractor. The award supports the BIG SAFARI program, a long-standing Air Force initiative focused on rapid development and integration of advanced aerospace solutions and specialized aircraft modifications to address emerging national security requirements.
The contract includes subcontractor support from Satcom Direct Government, LLC (Melbourne, FL), which provides secure global satellite communications and connectivity solutions, and Copa GSE LLC (Plainview/Glen Head, NY), a minority-owned small disadvantaged business supplying electronic and mechanical components including aircraft parts and transportation supplies. Sierra Nevada Company holds a $249.9 million Basic Ordering Agreement for BIG SAFARI with the Aeronautical Systems Center, which serves as the foundational IDV vehicle enabling this and other task orders. The company's extensive experience delivering aviation technology, aircraft modifications, engineering services, and mission-critical systems—often in collaboration with major defense contractors including Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, and L3Harris Technologies—positions it as a key integrator for complex Air Force modernization initiatives.
