Indefinite Delivery Contract FA865625DB056

Zone 5 Technologies, LLC, a small business defense contractor based in San Luis Obispo, California, has been awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract as part of the fourth on-ramp to the Eglin Wide Agile Acquisition Contract (EWAAC) vehicle. The contract, funded by the United States Air Force through the Air Force Lifecycle Management Center at Eglin Air Force Base, carries a ceiling value of $46 billion and extends through September 9, 2031. The award, made on March 13, 2025, represents a non-set-aside procurement evaluated under Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 15 using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable source selection methodology. The original pre-solicitation notice, posted on February 7, 2024, indicated that AFLCMC intended to award multiple IDIQ contracts to provide diverse deliverables supporting the EWAAC program, with each on-ramp awardee guaranteed a minimum order of $1,000. The procurement utilized North American Industry Classification System code 332993 (Ammunition except Small Arms Manufacturing) with a 1,500-employee size standard, though the scope of potential deliverables extends beyond traditional ammunition production to encompass broader defense technology research and development capabilities.

Based on Zone 5 Technologies' demonstrated expertise and historical contract performance with the Air Force, the EWAAC on-ramp vehicle is expected to provide flexible contracting mechanisms for development, production, and integration services across advanced defense technology domains. The company's prior work includes extended-range attack munitions, counter-unmanned aircraft systems, autonomous systems development, avionics integration, and networked collaborative entity platforms. The initial task order issued on April 14, 2025, with a completion date of April 14, 2025 and a ceiling value of $1,000, was structured as a firm fixed price delivery order and performed at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. This indefinite delivery vehicle structure enables the Air Force to issue subsequent task orders for specialized research, development, and integration work as requirements emerge, leveraging Zone 5 Technologies' established capabilities in emerging defense technology domains while maintaining procurement flexibility and cost efficiency.
