About this IDV
General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) by the Aeronautical Systems Center, Air Force Materiel Command, with a ceiling value of $550 million and a performance period extending through September 20, 2022. This IDC, designated as an ACAT I program supporting the MQ-9 Reaper Hybrid Technology Maturation Effort, established a framework for delivering advanced unmanned aircraft system capabilities, engineering services, and technology development activities. The contract utilized full and open competition with no small business set-aside, with all work performed at GA-ASI's primary facility in Poway, California. As the original equipment manufacturer of the MQ-9 Reaper platform, GA-ASI leveraged this vehicle to provide the Air Force with flexible acquisition authority for research, development, and sustainment activities aligned with the service's intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and strike mission requirements.
Under this IDC, the Air Force exercised 20 delivery orders totaling approximately $406.8 million through September 2022, spanning technical maturation efforts, system enhancements, spare parts procurement, and specialized capabilities integration. Representative task orders included the $137 million MQ-9 Reaper Lead Off Hitter 5 program for ongoing operations and capabilities development, the $55.1 million Open Mission Systems Stellar Relay Technical Maturation Effort for advanced communications integration, the $36.8 million Ground Control Station and Airframe Spares procurement, and various specialized efforts addressing automatic takeoff and landing capabilities, weapons integration, radar polarization filtering, and battery technology maturation. These delivery orders were structured as cost-plus-fixed-fee and firm-fixed-price contracts, with performance periods typically ranging from one to seven years, and frequently involved subcontract support from aerospace suppliers including L3 Technologies, Raytheon Company, Honeywell International, and specialized small businesses providing chase plane operations, composite components, and technical support services.
