Basic Ordering Agreement W58RGZ26G0002

The Army Contracting Command-Redstone Arsenal awarded this single-award Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) to W S Darley & Co, a small business manufacturer and distributor based in Itasca, Illinois, in support of Executive Order 14307 regarding unleashing American drone dominance. The contract was awarded on December 19, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of December 16, 2030, and is funded by the Program Executive Office Aviation within the Defense agency. The BOA establishes a vehicle for procurement of drones and drone components to support the Army's aerial capability requirements. Although the ceiling value is listed at $0.00, indicating this BOA likely operates as a basic ordering agreement whereby specific pricing and quantities will be established through subsequent task orders or delivery orders issued against the vehicle.

W S Darley & Co brings extensive experience in delivering specialized defense and emergency response equipment to federal agencies, including a demonstrated portfolio encompassing drone systems and associated components previously provided to Department of Defense organizations. The contractor currently maintains significant indefinite delivery vehicles including a $500 million Special Operations Equipment-Tailored Logistics Support contract with the Defense Logistics Agency and a recently awarded $7 billion multiple-award indefinite delivery vehicle, positioning the company as an established supplier within federal defense procurement infrastructure. The award of this drone-focused BOA leverages the contractor's existing capabilities and relationships to fulfill Army requirements for unmanned aerial systems and supporting components in alignment with national defense strategic objectives.
