About this IDV
Collins Aerospace Government Systems (a subsidiary of RTX Corporation) was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $99.5 million by the Aeronautical Systems Center (Electronic Systems Center) on November 30, 2022, with a performance period extending through November 30, 2032. The contract vehicle supports the production and sustainment of Common Very Low Frequency Receivers, Increment 1 (CVRI1) systems and associated Very Low Frequency (VLF) receiver equipment designated to support the KGR-72 program. Work is performed primarily at Collins Aerospace facilities in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and Richardson, Texas. The contract carries no small business set-aside designation, reflecting the contractor's status as a large business entity. The VLF receiver systems procured under this contract serve as critical command and control communications equipment for strategic military platforms, including the B-2 and B-52 bombers, enabling reception of extremely low-frequency signals essential for strategic force command operations and maintaining continuous operational readiness of U.S. strategic deterrent systems.
Task orders issued against the contract demonstrate the breadth of production and sustainment work encompassed within the vehicle. Delivery orders range from component-level procurement, including application-specific integrated circuit hardware for cryptographic components within the Programmable Embeddable Infosec Product board ($1.28 million, awarded September 2024), to full-scale production efforts such as VLF receiver manufacturing for B-52 platforms ($16.1 million, awarded December 2025) and B-52 VLF upgrade production ($12.9 million, awarded February 2025). The contract also supports extended sustainment operations through cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery orders with performance periods extending through 2029, providing long-term logistics support, maintenance, repair, and technical support services for both B-2 and E-6B platforms utilizing CVRI1 and KGR-72 receiver systems. Collins Aerospace has engaged specialized subcontractors including Survivability And Vulnerability Engineering Incorporated and Green Hills Software LLC to provide engineering analysis and embedded software development support, demonstrating the contractor's integration of focused technical capabilities to support system modernization and lifecycle sustainment activities.
