About this IDV
Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, through its Aeronautics Systems Division, was awarded a single-award indefinite delivery contract by the Air Force Sustainment Center with a ceiling value of $600.5 million and a period of performance from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2026. The contract provides comprehensive repair and sustainment services for the RQ-4B Global Hawk and MQ-4C Triton unmanned aircraft systems, which serve as critical intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance platforms for the U.S. Air Force and Navy respectively. As the original equipment manufacturer and primary systems integrator for both platforms, Northrop Grumman delivers a full spectrum of sustainment support encompassing maintenance, repair operations, logistics support, spare parts procurement, technical engineering services, and systems integration necessary to maintain operational readiness of these advanced high-altitude, long-endurance aircraft. The contract was awarded under full and open competition with no set-aside designation and is performed at Northrop Grumman's facility in San Diego, California.
Task orders issued under this indefinite delivery vehicle demonstrate consistent annual sustainment requirements, with delivery orders ranging from approximately $928,000 to $278.98 million across the contract period. All task orders utilize cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing structures and maintain the same scope of repair and sustainment services across both unmanned aircraft platforms. Northrop Grumman engages an extensive network of specialized subcontractors including L3Harris Technologies, Raytheon Company, Rolls-Royce Corporation, Curtiss-Wright Defense Solutions, Kearfott Corporation, and Heroux-Devtek Inc., leveraging their expertise in communications systems, propulsion components, navigation systems, electronic warfare systems, landing gear assemblies, and structural aircraft elements. This multifaceted subcontractor network enables the prime contractor to deliver integrated lifecycle sustainment support essential to sustaining U.S. military and allied defense operations dependent upon these unmanned surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities.
