About this IDV
The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract to FN Herstal S.A. (Fabrique Nationale Nouvelle Herstal), a Belgian manufacturer of small arms and weapons systems, on March 6, 2019, with a ceiling value of $19.6 million and an ultimate completion date of December 31, 2023. The contract procures the GAU-21 .50 caliber machine gun system, a critical weapon platform used aboard naval aviation aircraft. FN Herstal, selected without set-aside designation, performs all work in Belgium as the prime contractor. The Indefinite Delivery Contract structure provides NAVAIR with flexible procurement mechanisms to issue task orders for machine guns, barrels, accessories, and related components as operational requirements dictate, supporting the Navy's aircraft armament logistics and readiness objectives.
Between March 2019 and October 2023, NAVAIR issued nine delivery orders against this contract vehicle, with individual task order values ranging from $148,383 to $2.95 million. These firm fixed-price delivery orders addressed periodic procurement of GAU-21 .50 caliber machine gun systems, periodic replacement part kits (5K and 10K configurations), and associated components to sustain Navy fleet aircraft equipped with these weapons systems. Completion dates for individual delivery orders extended through May 31, 2022, with cumulative task order obligations exceeding $12.8 million. The contract awards reflect FN Herstal's established role as a strategic supplier of specialized military hardware and its competitive manufacturing capabilities in providing precision-engineered defense components essential to naval aviation weapons system sustainment and operational readiness.
