About this IDV
The Air Force Materiel Command awarded a Single Award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $2.414 billion to The Boeing Company's Defense, Space & Security Division for repair and sustainment services of the guidance subsystem for the Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile. This contract, awarded on September 17, 2021, with an ultimate completion date of September 17, 2039, establishes a framework for recurring repair, refurbishment, and testing services essential to maintaining operational readiness of this strategic nuclear deterrent platform. The underlying solicitation, posted in October 2020, sought technical expertise in guidance set disassembly, refurbishment, measurement, testing, and reassembly activities, with an anticipated 18-year performance period spanning seven one-year ordering periods plus a potential six-month extension. The no-set-aside contract reflects Boeing's status as the incumbent contractor and sole awardee, leveraging the company's specialized infrastructure and technical capabilities to sustain this aging but operationally critical system through its estimated retirement date.
Work is performed primarily at Boeing's facility in Heath, Ohio, with potential collaboration from major subcontractors including Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and Honeywell International Inc. Five delivery orders totaling approximately $728 million have been issued under this Indefinite Delivery Contract as of fiscal year 2025, with individual task orders utilizing cost-plus award-fee pricing structures and completion dates extending through September 2045. These delivery orders address specific annual repair requirements and guidance subsystem sustainment activities, demonstrating the Air Force's sustained commitment to maintaining the operational capability of the Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile fleet throughout the mid-21st century. The contract vehicles collectively represent a critical component of the Department of Defense's strategic nuclear triad sustainment strategy, ensuring that essential guidance, navigation, and control systems remain functional and mission-capable throughout the weapon system's extended operational lifecycle.
