Indefinite Delivery Contract FA853325D0019

The Automatic Test Systems Acquisition-I (ATSA-I) is a ten-year, multiple award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract valued at $980 million awarded by Air Force Materiel Command to Northrop Grumman Systems Corp and other contractors, with performance through September 18, 2035. This contract provides comprehensive support for automatic test systems serving the Air Force's aircraft, armament, and commodity systems across multiple programs. The scope of work encompasses analysis, design, development, production, installation, integration, testing, database generation and management, acquisition, and sustainment services for automatic test equipment. Key technical capabilities required include software development and sustainment, model-based systems engineering utilizing SysML tools, open systems architecture implementation, configuration management, and security authorization support. The contract supports Air Force, Air Force Reserve, Air National Guard, and foreign military sales customers across various global locations, with primary performance at Warner Robins Air Force Base in Georgia.

The contract structure establishes a vehicle for both competitive and sole source acquisitions through task and delivery orders issued to multiple awardees, eliminating the need for individual competitive procurements for automatic test systems requirements. No small business set-aside designation applies to the contract; however, large business contractors are required to maintain a minimum of 20 percent small business subcontracting participation. The initial delivery order awarded to Northrop Grumman Systems Corp reflects a firm fixed-price arrangement with a nominal ceiling of $1,000 and completion by November 17, 2025. This contracting approach streamlines and standardizes the Air Force's acquisition process for automatic test systems by consolidating dispersed requirements under a single enterprise vehicle, enabling faster procurement cycles and improved lifecycle management of both legacy systems and future commercial and noncommercial products and services.
