The Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) titled "Range IDIQ Support Effort (RISE)" to BAE Systems Space & Mission Systems Inc., a major aerospace and defense contractor. The $950,000,000 multiple-award IDC has a period of performance through June 22, 2027 and will provide a range of support services to the AFMC's Range Threat Systems Branch. This includes the acquisition of threat radars, prototypes, engineering analysis, and hardware/software upgrades for programs such as Advanced Radar Threat Systems, Joint Threat Emitter, and Branch Modernization initiatives. The contract aims to support threat radar systems and infrastructure at various Air Force combat training ranges.
Under the RISE IDC, a $5,000 firm-fixed-price delivery order was recently awarded to Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corporation to provide a whitepaper outlining solutions for an integrated portal concept. This short-term technical evaluation task order was placed against the overarching RISE IDIQ contract vehicle, which is open to multiple awardees and does not use any set-aside designations. The RISE IDIQ was initially solicited in September 2020, with an industry day held in October 2020 and proposals due in March 2021.
