Indefinite Delivery Contract 70RDA226D00000006

The Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate awarded a multiple-award indefinite-delivery contract to BAE Systems Technology Solutions & Services Inc. on August 1, 2026, for Counter-Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-UAS) Track 1 hardware, software, and ancillary services, with a $1.5 billion ceiling and ultimate completion date of July 31, 2031.

The contract carries no set-aside designation and was structured as part of a two-track procurement strategy in which the government anticipated awarding 4–6 IDIQs with multiple contractors selected under each track. Track 1 addresses IT value-added reseller solutions providing commercially available C-UAS hardware, software, and related services; Track 2 covers system integrators offering comprehensive turnkey solutions and system integration services. BAE Systems was selected under Track 1.

The originating solicitation, posted as a pre-solicitation notice on October 31, 2025, called for C-UAS systems capable of detecting threats at minimum 2 km range, simultaneously tracking at least three unmanned systems, and operating across fixed location, mobile, aviation, and maritime environments while meeting federal cybersecurity and compliance standards. Ordering authority is distributed across all DHS components, including Customs and Border Protection, Coast Guard, Federal Protective Service, Secret Service, and FEMA, enabling these agencies to issue task orders directly against this IDIQ to support their respective C-UAS detection, tracking, identification, and mitigation missions.
