Indefinite Delivery Contract FA865625DB045

Ultra Electronics Advanced Tactical Systems Inc. was awarded a $46 billion multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract on March 13, 2025, as the fourth on-ramp to the Eglin Wide Agile Acquisition Contract (EWAAC) vehicle. The contract is funded by the U.S. Air Force and carries an ultimate completion date of September 9, 2031, with no set-aside designation applied. As a subsidiary of Ultra Electronics Holdings plc headquartered in Austin, Texas, the contractor specializes in defense technology solutions including tactical communications, electronic warfare, air defense integration, and advanced system technologies. The EWAAC vehicle itself serves as an enterprise-wide agile acquisition mechanism, enabling flexible procurement of specialized defense services and products across multiple Air Force functional areas without requiring individual competitive procurements for each requirement.

The contract scope encompasses a broad range of engineering, software development, hardware acquisition, logistics support, and cybersecurity services typical of the contractor's core competencies in defense technology domains. Ultra Electronics Advanced Tactical Systems Inc. has demonstrated significant experience delivering similar services through existing IDIQ vehicles, including a $950 million Joint All Domain Command and Control support contract and a $30.75 million LINK-16 Alaska services contract with Air Force Electronic Systems Center. The initial task order issued under this EWAAC on-ramp was a firm fixed-price delivery order valued at $1,000, awarded on April 9, 2025, for performance at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. The EWAAC vehicle structure allows the Air Force to issue additional delivery orders against the $46 billion ceiling throughout the contract period, streamlining procurement processes for ongoing operational and modernization requirements.
