The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command awarded an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract to Lockheed Martin Corporation, a leading global aerospace and defense company, to provide Foreign Military Sales (FMS) and Department of Defense (DoD) production and sustainment of Sniper Advanced Targeting Pods, Infrared Search and Track (IRST) systems, and LANTIRN (Low-Altitude Navigation and Targeting Infrared for Night) targeting and navigation systems. The $995 million single-award IDIQ contract has a period of performance through May 2025 and does not utilize any set-aside designations. Under this contract vehicle, the Air Force has issued numerous firm-fixed-price delivery orders to Lockheed Martin for the production, testing, logistics, and sustainment of these critical sensor and targeting capabilities to support U.S. and allied military forces. Key subcontractors include specialized manufacturers of electronic components, printed circuit boards, and targeting pod assemblies.
The contracted systems are integral to the operations of various aircraft platforms and weapons systems managed by the Air Force and other DoD components. This IDIQ contract provides a streamlined procurement mechanism for the Air Force Materiel Command to efficiently acquire production, upgrades, and life-cycle support services for the Sniper, IRST, and LANTIRN sensor and targeting systems from the original equipment manufacturer, Lockheed Martin, as needed to sustain operational readiness and capability for U.S. and partner nation forces.
