The U.S. Air Force Materiel Command's Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex has awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) valued at up to $196,759,697.00 to Raytheon Company's Raytheon Intelligence & Space (Ri&S) Division. This IDC, which has a completion date of March 1, 2026, is for the Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS) Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) mission. Under this IDC, Raytheon will provide program management, field support, and SIGINT capabilities to support legacy and open architecture DCGS systems. Key task orders issued include a $45.4 million firm-fixed-price award for DCGS SIGINT support, a $41.6 million cost-no-fee award for program management and field support, a $20.3 million firm-fixed-price award for DCGS SIGINT mission capabilities, and a $31 million firm-fixed-price award for continued SIGINT support. These task orders will be performed primarily in Sterling, Virginia. The IDC was awarded without any set-aside designations, leveraging Raytheon's expertise in radar systems, intelligence solutions, and support services for the Air Force's DCGS program.
The original solicitation notice indicated that the Air Force sought engineering services to address obsolescence issues with critical electronic warfare components on the B-1B aircraft's AN/ALQ-161A Defensive Avionics System. This sole-source contract was planned to be awarded to the Georgia Tech Research Institute to provide design, development, testing, and field support for prototype modification kits to reactivate the Band 8 Transmitter capability on the B-1B. While this specific requirement is not part of the IDC awarded to Raytheon, it demonstrates the Air Force's continued focus on sustaining and modernizing its intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities across various aircraft platforms.
