About this award
General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) was awarded a $10.88 million delivery order under the BIG SAFARI program by the Aeronautical Systems Center, a defense-focused component of the U.S. Air Force. This cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order, awarded on March 1, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of February 29, 2024, represents work to be performed at GA-ASI's facility in Poway, California. The award carries no set-aside designation and reflects the company's continued role as a prime contractor for advanced aerospace and unmanned systems solutions. BIG SAFARI is a highly classified Air Force program historically focused on rapid development and fielding of specialized intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities, and GA-ASI's expertise in unmanned aerial vehicle development and integration aligns with the program's typical requirements.
GA-ASI subcontracted portions of this work to The Bridge General Trading and Contracting Company W.L.L., a Kuwait-based logistics firm, which was awarded a subcontract on June 22, 2023, for vehicle support services including the provision of passenger SUVs, pickup trucks, and vehicle rental services. This subcontract arrangement demonstrates the logistical complexity inherent in supporting classified defense programs, with GA-ASI leveraging specialized regional support contractors to ensure operational continuity. The structure of this delivery order reflects the flexible procurement mechanisms available under indefinite delivery vehicles that enable rapid task order issuance to support critical national security priorities.
