The federal contract IDV award by the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) is for the development of counter-small unmanned aircraft system (C-SUAS) capabilities to address threats posed by adversaries' use of commercial drones. The single-award IDIQ contract has a maximum value of $490 million and a period of performance up to 72 months. It was awarded to Par Government Systems Corporation, a technology company that specializes in advanced research and development for the U.S. government.
Under this IDIQ, Par Government has received various delivery orders to provide research, development, prototyping, demonstration, evaluation, and transition of C-SUAS technologies through cost-plus-fixed-fee task orders. The delivery orders cover a range of efforts, including flight testing, base operations support, counter-UAS command and control, radio frequency, and interceptor capabilities, as well as low collateral effects interceptor development and collaborative low-altitude UAS integration. The contract does not have a small business set-aside designation, but Par Government has partnered with subcontractors like Black River Systems on certain delivery orders. This IDIQ allows AFRL and other government agencies to readily procure Par Government's specialized solutions and emerging technologies in areas such as engineering, software, AI, and cybersecurity to support the C-SUAS mission.
