Delivery Order FA867219D0001-FA867225FB008

The U.S. Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Eglin Air Force Base awarded a $54.2M cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order to Raytheon Company (RMD division) on August 13, 2025, for the Small Diameter Bomb Increment II (SDB II) Technology Refresh Phase 3 program. This delivery order, with an ultimate completion date of February 13, 2028, supports the development and production of precision-guided, air-launched glide munitions designed to engage both fixed and moving targets. The SDB II is a Major Defense Acquisition Program operating under Acquisition Category IC within the Major Capability Acquisition pathway, providing advanced air-to-ground weapons capabilities for tactical aircraft across the U.S. Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps. Work will be performed in Tucson, Arizona, where Raytheon conducts primary development and production activities for this critical munitions system.

This award carries no small business set-aside designation, reflecting the highly specialized and technologically complex nature of the program. Raytheon's contract work on SDB II leverages its extensive expertise in missile system development and production, supported by key subcontractors including General Dynamics OTS, Simmonds Precision Products, and Mercury Systems, which provide specialized electronic components and munitions hardware. The delivery order is issued under the larger SDB II program portfolio, which has historically employed cost-plus-fixed-fee and fixed-price-incentive contract vehicles with performance periods typically spanning 2-5 years. Funding flows through the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, with additional contract support from Naval Air Systems Command, ensuring comprehensive program execution and modernization of this Major Defense Acquisition Program.
