Delivery Order FA867219D0001-FA867221F2001

The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Eglin Air Force Base awarded Raytheon Company (Raytheon Missile Systems Division) a $19.6 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order on October 20, 2020, for Small Diameter Bomb Increment II (SDB II) test equipment. The contract, which carries an ultimate completion date of August 29, 2025, supports the SDB II Major Defense Acquisition Program, a precision-guided, air-launched glide munition system designed to engage both fixed and moving targets from tactical aircraft across the U.S. Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps. This delivery order was issued under the SDB II program's existing acquisition structure and does not utilize a small business set-aside designation. Primary performance will occur in Tucson, Arizona, where Raytheon conducts the majority of SDB II development and production activities.

The SDB II program operates under Acquisition Category IC within the Air Force's Major Capability Acquisition pathway and represents a significant modernization effort for air-to-ground weapons capabilities. Raytheon serves as the primary contractor for the program, supported by key subcontractors including General Dynamics OTS, Simmonds Precision Products, Mercury Systems, and various specialized manufacturers providing electronic components and testing services. The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center manages the majority of SDB II funding, with supplemental contracts from Naval Air Systems Command. Typical SDB II contract awards range from small purchases under $100,000 to major production contracts exceeding $600 million, with performance periods spanning two to five years.
