The Department of the Air Force awarded multiple indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contracts under the Eglin Wide Agile Acquisition Contract (EWAAC) to Georgia Tech Applied Research Corporation (GTARC) with a potential value of $92 billion. EWAAC aims to provide diverse armament and weapons development deliverables to support Eglin Armament Enterprise organizations through rapid procurement of products and services. Task orders issued to GTARC include a $1.09 million fixed price contract for a weapon study in Destin, FL from June 2023 to June 2024, and a $1,000 fixed price contract for on ramp services at Eglin Air Force Base by May 2022. The originating pre-solicitation notice sought additional contractors beyond the original pool of 55 under EWAAC, which expires in September 2031. Awards were made without set asides, and work will be performed in Florida. GTARC will utilize its research and development capabilities to support the Air Force's mission through these contracts.
The Air Force intends for EWAAC to expand its contractors from 55 to include additional traditional and non-traditional weapons-focused companies. EWAAC aims to procure fabrication, manufacturing, high-performance computing, energetics, and other capabilities to support Eglin Armament Enterprise organizations. Evaluation criteria for the EWAAC on-ramp included management, technical proficiency, digital capabilities, and experience in areas of armament and weapons development and enterprise analytics. The primary NAICS code was 332993 for ammunition manufacturing, with a size standard of 1,500 employees and minimum $250,000 guarantees per awardee.
