About this IDV
The Department of the Air Force awarded multiple indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts under the Skyborg Prototyping, Experimentation and Autonomy Development program with a combined potential value of $400 million each. The contracts were awarded to Aerovironment, Inc. and other contractors to develop and integrate autonomous capabilities for unmanned air systems through 2025.
Aerovironment, Inc. received a $4,000 firm fixed price delivery order against its SPEAD contract for coordinating a kickoff meeting in Simi Valley, California by November 2020. The meeting aims to facilitate planning and coordination to initiate the SPEAD program. This program focuses on advancing unmanned aircraft autonomy capabilities through prototyping autonomous systems technologies. The long term objective is to field an affordable autonomous mission system to provide expeditionary combat capabilities, as outlined in the Air Force's Skyborg initiative.
The original broad agency announcement sought proposals to establish the SPEAD IDIQ contracts for this purpose. Offerors were required to submit autonomous technology prototyping, testing, and evaluation capabilities by June 2020 for consideration, with contract awards by July 2020. Participation in periodic meetings and technical reporting were requirements if awarded a contract under this program. The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center issued the announcement with no set-aside designations.
