Indefinite Delivery Contract FA852220D0008

The U.S. Air Force Sustainment Center, a defense agency, awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to General Microwave Corporation, a subsidiary of Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. The $3,092,622.80 contract covers the repair of the ALQ-131 electronic warfare system, a critical airborne self-protection system. The contract includes multiple firm fixed-price delivery orders for ALQ-131 repairs valued at $494,385.28, $292,511.39, $496,518.40, $101,359.28, and $472,059.72, with work to be performed at General Microwave's facilities in Syosset, New York and Warner Robins, Georgia. No set-aside designations were used, reflecting the specialized nature of the required products and services. As a prime contractor, General Microwave Corporation has a longstanding relationship with the Air Force Sustainment Center and other defense agencies, supplying critical radio frequency and microwave components, systems, and related services for various electronic warfare, radar, and communications programs.

The original pre-solicitation notice indicated the Air Force's intent to award a 5-year, sole-source requirements contract to General Microwave Corporation for the repair and condemnation of the AN/ALQ-131 Digital Tune Oscillator. The contract consolidates repair requirements to provide improved delivery times and lower costs to the government. The contract includes variable delivery requirements, with routine repairs due in 30 days and mission-critical and surge requirements due in 15 days. This approach ensures the continued operational readiness of the Air Force's airborne electronic warfare capabilities.
