About this IDV
Sierra Nevada Company, LLC, a woman-owned aerospace and defense contractor based in Greenwood Village, Colorado, holds a $200 million Basic Ordering Agreement with the Air Force's Aeronautical Systems Center for the BIG SAFARI program. Awarded September 15, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of September 14, 2026, this single-award, indefinite delivery vehicle requires no set-asides and operates on a competitive basis. BIG SAFARI is a classified Air Force special access program dedicated to the rapid development, integration, and deployment of advanced aerospace solutions, tactical systems, and specialized aircraft modifications to address emerging national security requirements. The contract provides flexible procurement mechanisms enabling the Air Force to issue task orders for a comprehensive range of aviation technology, aircraft modifications, engineering services, satellite communications, simulation systems, and specialized mission technologies without requiring separate competitive procurements for each requirement.
Under this Basic Ordering Agreement, Sierra Nevada Company has executed numerous delivery orders totaling approximately $1.3 billion cumulatively, with task orders ranging from under $500,000 to over $333 million, employing both firm fixed-price and cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing structures. Performance locations are primarily concentrated at Sierra Nevada's Greenwood Village, Colorado headquarters, with select efforts conducted at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. Delivery orders address diverse program needs including U-28 aircraft lifecycle support, systems integration, structural modifications, avionics and communications system integration, video encoding and surveillance capabilities, propulsion system maintenance, and component manufacturing. Sierra Nevada executes this work through a tiered subcontracting network encompassing major defense primes such as Northrop Grumman, L3Harris Technologies, Boeing, and Raytheon, as well as specialized smaller suppliers providing aircraft parts, precision machining, cable assemblies, antenna systems, and maintenance services, positioning the contractor as a systems integrator managing complex supply chains for classified defense programs supporting critical Air Force operational capabilities.
