The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Aeronautical Systems Center awarded Lockheed Martin Corporation an indefinite delivery contract to provide products and services in support of the F-22 Raptor aircraft program. Over the period of performance from 2003 to 2017, the agency issued multiple delivery orders against this contract valued at over $3 billion. Delivery orders focused on ongoing hardware and software upgrades, testing, maintenance, and engineering support to incrementally improve the capabilities and operational effectiveness of the F-22 fleet. Work was performed primarily by Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company at its facility in White Settlement, Texas. This contract vehicle and associated task orders aimed to ensure the F-22 system continued to meet the Air Force's needs by financing key sustainment, modernization, and technology insertion efforts for one of its premier air dominance platforms. Additional context suggests this IDV was utilized for critical mid-life enhancement initiatives to keep the Raptor flying and fighting well into the future.
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory also established delivery orders in support of F-22 laboratory infrastructure and systems engineering valued at over $400 million. Work involved sustaining lab capabilities and providing technical guidance to integrate hardware and software upgrades across the complex weapon system. Delivery orders were issued over several years using cost reimbursement and fixed price arrangements depending on the nature and maturity of the work. Performance took place at Lockheed Martin's Texas facility indicating its role as the primary F-22 integrator for the Air Force's acquisition and sustainment programs.
