About this IDV
The Naval Air Warfare Center awarded a single-award indefinite-delivery contract to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation on June 1, 2026, for GQM-163A target operation and maintenance services, with a ceiling value of $99,959,797.30 and an ultimate completion date of May 31, 2031.
Place of performance is Chandler, Arizona. The contract supports lifecycle sustainment and depot repair of the GQM-163A Coyote surface-launched aerial target system, ensuring adequate support for U.S. Navy weapons systems testing, evaluation, and foreign military sales testing. The originating pre-solicitation, posted October 24, 2024, solicited contractor support for trajectory development and operations/maintenance activities under cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing.
The period of performance runs through May 31, 2031. Two delivery orders have been issued under this contract as of June and July 2026: one task order with a ceiling of $104,534.27 (ultimate completion September 30, 2026) and a second with a ceiling of $1,473,523.73 (ultimate completion January 31, 2027), both priced cost-plus-fixed-fee and performed in Chandler, Arizona.
Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation operates its Launch Vehicle Division from facilities in Chandler, Arizona; Huntsville, Alabama; and Las Cruces, New Mexico, and competes full-and-open across federal procurements with no SBA set-aside designation. The pre-solicitation noted the government's initial intent to issue a sole-source solicitation to Orbital Sciences LLC but remained open to alternative qualified contractors; the award to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation reflects the procurement's execution as a single-award vehicle.
