About this IDV
Mercury Mission Systems LLC, a subsidiary of Mercury Systems Inc., was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $70 million by the Air Force Materiel Command's Aeronautical Systems Center on September 30, 2020, with an ultimate completion date of September 29, 2031. The contract procures the F-16 Cockpit Communication Control Panel Organizer (C3PO), a backup radio and Identify Friend or Foe controller system for F-16 aircraft operations. The scope of work encompasses the production of C3PO units, repair and maintenance services, software support and upgrades, operational flight program development, and prototype development. All work is performed at Mercury Mission Systems' facility in Gulf Breeze, Florida. The contract was awarded on an open, competitive basis with no small business set-aside designation, reflecting Mercury Mission Systems' demonstrated capability to compete against other qualified contractors for sophisticated avionics components and integration services.
As of April 2025, the Aeronautical Systems Center has issued ten delivery orders totaling approximately $13.6 million against this $70 million IDV vehicle. Recent task orders include a $3.14 million production order for C3PO units with completion scheduled for June 2026, a $483,306 delivery order for C3PO operational flight program enhancement to establish a common baseline across the F-16 fleet, and a $7,203 component repair order requiring circuit board replacement. Earlier delivery orders addressed production of 64 C3PO units, software support services, prototype testing equipment, and miscellaneous repairs and spare parts. The consistent utilization of this contract vehicle across multiple fiscal years demonstrates the Aeronautical Systems Center's reliance on Mercury Mission Systems as a critical supplier of mission-essential avionics technologies for the F-16 fighter aircraft platform sustainment and modernization initiatives.
