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 to advance autonomous systems technologies. Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation received an IDIQ contract as prime contractor valued at up to $400 million.
A $3,998 firm fixed price delivery order against Northrop Grumman's IDIQ contract calls for prototyping, experimentation and autonomy development meeting support from July 23 through September 7, 2020 at its El Segundo, California facility. The kickoff meeting aims to discuss objectives and requirements for the Skyborg program, which seeks to develop and demonstrate autonomous unmanned aircraft capabilities.
The original May 2020 special notice sought proposals to establish IDIQ contracts through June 2025 for the Skyborg program. The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command intended to award multiple contracts to integrate autonomous capabilities into unmanned air systems through prototyping, testing and evaluation. Offerors were required to submit capabilities proposals by June 15, 2020, with contract awards by July 8, 2020.
