The Naval Air Warfare Center awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract valued at $441.6 million to Airborne Tactical Advantage Co LLC (ATAC), a subsidiary of Textron Inc., effective from November 18, 2020, through November 17, 2025. This contract procures fleet fighter jet services utilizing contractor-owned and operated aircraft to support airborne threat simulation, adversary air training, and tactical air control operations for the Department of the Navy, United States Marine Corps, and Department of the Air Force. The contract covers Type III and Type IV aircraft operations configured for various mission profiles, including F-16 chase services, combat system ship qualification trials, naval surface warfare testing, and advanced weapons laboratory missions. The contract is performed at multiple locations, with the primary place of performance in Newport News, Virginia. No set-aside designation was utilized for this award, reflecting ATAC's status as an established large defense contractor.

Delivery orders issued under this IDIQ vehicle address specific operational and training requirements across naval and defense aviation programs. Representative task orders documented include approximately $6.2 million in funding to support Marine Forces Pacific operations, $10.4 million for Commander Naval Air Forces operations, $24.8 million for Type III aircraft operating costs, and numerous smaller orders supporting specialized missions such as F-16 chase support for Slovakia and Bulgaria, ship qualification testing, and integrated system testing. Task orders employ firm fixed-price pricing structures and typically specify completion dates between May 2024 and November 2025. ATAC leverages its fleet of fighter and training aircraft, experienced pilot staff, and maintenance capabilities to deliver comprehensive aviation support services. The contractor also holds a concurrent $5.7 billion multiple-award IDIQ with the Air Force's Air Combat Command for Adversary Air Support and Close Air Support services, positioning ATAC as a critical provider of specialized tactical airborne services across multiple service branches and defense agencies.
