About this IDV

Crystal Group, Inc., a subsidiary of Employee Owned Brands, Inc., was awarded a single-award Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC/WBZ) on August 23, 2024, with a ceiling value of $6.5 million and an ultimate completion date of August 22, 2029. The BOA establishes a framework to support future delivery orders for the B-2 Adaptable Communications Suite (ACS), a communications modernization initiative for the B-2 stealth bomber platform. As a specialized provider of ruggedized computing solutions, Crystal Group will deliver mission-critical computing hardware and components, including rackmount servers, digital processors, storage systems, and networking equipment designed to meet the demanding operational requirements of military applications. The contract carries no small business set-aside designation and will be performed at Crystal Group's primary facility in Hiawatha, Iowa, as well as at supporting locations including Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri as required by individual delivery orders.

Four delivery orders have been issued under this BOA framework as of the information provided, totaling approximately $1.16 million in awarded value. The delivery orders, issued between November 2024 and October 2025, reflect the streamlined acquisition approach enabled by the BOA structure, allowing the Air Force to procure specialized ACS production components and related computing infrastructure without conducting repetitive competitive procurements. Each delivery order is structured on a firm-fixed-price basis with completion dates ranging from June 2025 through April 2026, demonstrating active utilization of the BOA for near-term B-2 modernization efforts. Crystal Group's established track record as a Department of Defense supplier, evidenced by its Naval Supply Systems Command BOA with over $730,000 in prior delivery orders, supports its continued engagement as a critical technology provider for complex defense platforms requiring specialized, high-reliability computing solutions.
