About this IDV
The Air Force Materiel Command's Aeronautical Systems Center established a Basic Ordering Agreement with Aevex Aerospace, LLC on April 17, 2024, through April 16, 2029, with a $1 billion ceiling. This agreement sets the framework for ordering airborne intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) services, flight operations, logistics, maintenance, sensor development, and advanced aerospace engineering under the BIG SAFARI program—the Air Force's classified rapid-prototyping initiative for airborne reconnaissance capabilities—but obligates no funds itself. Orders placed under this BOA commit resources only when issued.
Place of performance is Solana Beach, California. The agreement supports specialized aviation services and technical support to the Department of Defense and national security agencies. Recent delivery orders issued under this BOA include a $892.8 million firm fixed-price order issued December 2, 2024, through September 30, 2026; a $39.7 million firm fixed-price order issued February 14, 2025, through February 13, 2027; a $2.51 million cost-plus-fixed-fee order issued July 29, 2025, through July 28, 2027; a $2.28 million cost-plus-fixed-fee order issued September 30, 2025, through July 31, 2026; and a $6.7 million firm fixed-price order issued April 9, 2026, through May 31, 2026. Orders under this BOA total approximately $1.21 billion in combined potential value across multiple delivery orders supporting BIG SAFARI operations.
