About this IDV
The Skyborg Prototyping, Experimentation and Autonomy Development (SPEAD) program represents a $400 million multiple-award indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract vehicle established by the U.S. Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center to advance autonomous systems technologies for unmanned air systems. Awarded to Nextgen Aeronautics, Inc., a minority-owned small disadvantaged business headquartered in Torrance, California, on September 29, 2020, with an ultimate completion date of July 21, 2025, the contract supports prototyping, testing, evaluation, and integration of autonomous capabilities designed to field an affordable autonomous mission system capable of providing expeditionary combat capabilities. The program does not utilize set-asides and encompasses multiple contractors, with no geographic restrictions limiting performance locations beyond the primary place of performance in Torrance, California. The originating solicitation, posted as a special notice and broad agency announcement on May 15, 2020, with proposals due by June 15, 2020, explicitly sought contractor capabilities for developing and integrating autonomous technologies for unmanned platforms over the contract period through 2025.
Under this IDIQ vehicle, Nextgen Aeronautics has received at least one documented delivery order valued at $3,996 on a firm fixed-price basis, awarded September 29, 2020, for the Skyborg SPEAD kick-off meeting with performance completion by November 13, 2020. This initial task order reflects the contract's structured approach requiring contractors to participate in formal program integration activities and provide technical reports and documentation as contractual deliverables. As an organization with established expertise in autonomous systems, advanced aeronautics research and development, and prior performance on Air Force Research Laboratory Small Business Innovation Research initiatives, Nextgen Aeronautics is positioned to contribute to the Air Force's broader modernization objectives in unmanned aircraft autonomy and expeditionary combat system development through the SPEAD program's prototyping and experimentation framework.
