Under this IDV, Raytheon has received multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders to provide repair services for the aircraft's Cryogenic Desiccant Module (CDM) system. The total value of these task orders awarded to date is over $80 million. Raytheon, through its Air & Space Defense Systems division, will perform the required engineering, software development, and sustainment support for the B-2 CDM at its facility in El Segundo, California. These contract awards do not have any set-aside designations, reflecting Raytheon's status as a large prime contractor with extensive expertise in advanced defense electronics, radar, and command and control systems. The work under this IDV supports the U.S. Air Force's efforts to maintain and upgrade the critical B-2 stealth bomber fleet.
The funding for this contract comes from the Air Force Sustainment Center, a component of the U.S. Air Force Materiel Command responsible for providing logistics support and sustainment for a variety of aircraft and weapons systems. The long-term nature of the $351 million IDV, with a period of performance through 2033, demonstrates the Air Force's commitment to ensuring the continued operational readiness of the B-2 bomber, a key strategic asset in the nation's defense.
