About this award
The Air Force Materiel Command's Aeronautical Systems Center issued a $159.56 million delivery order to Sierra Nevada Company, LLC on September 26, 2024, under the BIG SAFARI Basic Ordering Agreement for advanced aircraft structural and subsystem integration, modification, and sustainment work extending through January 31, 2028.
BIG SAFARI is a rapid-prototyping initiative delivering classified airborne reconnaissance and special-operations capabilities. The parent Basic Ordering Agreement (FA862021G4009) with Aeronautical Systems Center, valued at $200 million and extended through September 2026, anchors Sierra Nevada's position as a core provider across this portfolio. Place of performance is Greenwood Village, Colorado.
Sierra Nevada, a woman-owned company, delivers this work as prime contractor managing a deep supply chain spanning specialized aerospace system integrators and component suppliers. Major named subcontractors include Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (satellite communications hardware and tile kits), Klas Government Inc. (telecommunications equipment), Leonardo Electronics US Inc. (radar and electrical components), Wescam USA (advanced electro-optical and infrared imaging systems), Broadwing Aviation (aircraft structural components and fasteners), and a multi-vendor team including Piedmont Propulsion Systems, 3 Points Aviation Corp, Standardaero Atlantic, Collins Aerospace, and L3Harris Technologies for propeller, aircraft parts, engine, avionics, and communications integration work.
Service Contract Inventory data shows the order generated $77.4 million in invoiced labor during FY2025 with 131 full-time equivalent positions. Sierra Nevada self-performed all reported hours with no subcontractor labor engagement on the SCI-reportable service base, indicating internal delivery of the core labor footprint while managing subcontract supply chains for specialized components and systems integration.
