The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command awarded Armtec Countermeasures Co., a division of Transdigm Group Incorporated, a multiple-award indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract for the MJU-53/B countermeasure dispensing system, NSN 1370-01-503-1455. This contract, with a potential value of $105 million, allows the Air Force to issue delivery orders to Armtec for the critical aircraft survivability equipment over an extended period through May 2023. Under this IDIQ vehicle, the Air Force has issued several fixed-price delivery orders to Armtec, ranging from $3,000 to $14.4 million, for the provision of MJU-53/B countermeasure flares. Performance on these orders has occurred at Armtec's facilities in California, Arkansas, and North Carolina. No set-aside designations were used. The MJU-53/B is an aerial flare system used to decoy and distract heat-seeking missiles, supporting the Air Force's aircraft countermeasures programs and national defense.
Armtec Countermeasures, as the prime contractor, has utilized subcontractors such as Woodlawn Manufacturing, Luxfer Magtech, and others to provide materials, packaging, and components in support of the IDIQ contract and associated delivery orders. This IDIQ contract and the resulting orders allow the Air Force to efficiently sustain its inventory and operations of the MJU-53/B countermeasure system, a critical capability for protecting aircraft against infrared-guided threats.
