The U.S. Air Force Materiel Command has awarded Raytheon Company, through its Raytheon Missile Systems division, an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract for Contractor Logistics Support of the Miniature Air Launched Decoy (MALD) system. The $69 million contract has a period of performance through May 2024. Under this ID/IQ, the Air Force Sustainment Center has issued several delivery orders to Raytheon, valued at between $3.1 million to $11.2 million each, for sustainment services such as providing RF/microwave components, power supplies, test equipment, and other logistics support for the MALD system. The MALD is a low-cost, expendable flight vehicle used by the U.S. Air Force as a radar countermeasure and decoy to support electronic warfare and air dominance missions. As a major defense contractor, Raytheon has extensive experience delivering advanced missile, munition, and avionics technologies to the U.S. Department of Defense. The contract work is primarily performed in Tucson, Arizona and does not utilize any set-aside designations.
The initial contract solicitation was a pre-solicitation notice issued by the Air Force Materiel Command seeking technical proposals and data for a five-year Contractor Logistics Support effort to provide program management, logistics, and sustaining engineering for the MALD and MALD-J systems. The Government stated its intent to award the contract sole source to incumbent Raytheon Missile Systems, emphasizing the need for the awardee to be ready to perform immediately upon contract award without delay for qualification purposes.
