About this IDV
The Department of the Air Force awarded an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract to Firefly Aerospace Inc. on August 1, 2026, with a $981 million ceiling as a multiple-award vehicle with no set-aside. The contract runs through July 31, 2036 and procures design, development, integration, testing, and sustainment of advanced space-based and ground-based systems supporting the Operational Test and Training Infrastructure (OTTI) and System Delta 81 (SYD 81) missions. These systems give space warfighters interconnected, scalable, and distributed live/physical and synthetic/digital ranges for full-spectrum testing and training in contested space environments.
The vehicle is the National Space Test and Training Complex (NSTTC) Innovative Technology & Engineering - Space Test and Range (NITE-STAR) Capability Development contract, competed under full and open competition with no restrictions. The originating pre-solicitation was posted February 27, 2026, with questions and submissions due March 31, 2026. Evaluation assessed contractors' ability to develop and validate joint warfighting solutions for space operations, and the notice listed no specific evaluation criteria. The work is classified under NAICS 541715 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences) and PSC AR12 (Space R&D Services and Applied Research), which signals an R&D focus rather than production or conventional services.
