About this IDV

This Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) was awarded by the U.S. Air Force Materiel Command Aeronautical Systems Center to General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc. (GA-ASI) for the MQ-9 Agile Reaper Enterprise Solution (ARES) IDIQ. The $7.462 billion single-award IDC has an ultimate completion date of September 19, 2028 and provides for the procurement, sustainment, and enhancement of the MQ-9 Reaper, a medium-altitude, long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicle used primarily for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and strike missions.

The IDC is supported by multiple delivery orders for specific MQ-9 Reaper capabilities, including Open Mission System Stellar Relay and Link-16 retrofit, Mission Readiness Capability, Block 30 J-Voice Compatibility, Block 5 integration, and various hardware, software, and technical support requirements. The delivery orders range in value from $1.5 million to over $192 million and utilize both cost-plus-fixed-fee and firm-fixed-price pricing structures. While the overall IDC and most delivery orders do not have set-aside designations, some subcontracts have leveraged small business categories. The work is primarily performed at GA-ASI's facilities in Poway, California.
