About this IDV
This Other Transaction IDV, awarded to AeroVironment, Inc. on February 12, 2020, by the U.S. Marine Corps carries a ceiling value of $5.8 million and funds the Organic Precision Fires-Mounted (OPFM) program, Phase I, focused on design, prototype development, and demonstration activities. The contract employs an Other Transaction Authority vehicle, which provides the Marine Corps with regulatory flexibility to pursue innovative acquisition approaches for research and development. No set-aside provisions were utilized in this award. AeroVironment, a recognized leader in unmanned systems development, was selected as the prime contractor based on its established expertise in small tactical unmanned aerial systems and precision fires applications. The IDV structure enables the Marine Corps to issue task orders or delivery orders against the established ceiling as requirements materialize throughout the performance period.
Under this Other Transaction IDV, AeroVironment will deliver design concepts, prototype systems, and demonstration capabilities for organic precision fires mounted platforms aligned with Marine Corps operational requirements. The Phase I effort encompasses the conceptual and prototypical development phases necessary to validate technical feasibility and operational utility prior to potential transition to production or fielded systems. Recent modifications to the contract, including General Order FY25-23 dated September 7, 2025, have implemented organizational realignments within the Marine Corps' contracting structure. As a parent-level IDV, this vehicle provides the contracting mechanism through which the Marine Corps can systematically procure innovative precision fires capabilities while maintaining flexibility to adapt technical requirements and funding allocations throughout the performance period based on developmental outcomes and evolving operational needs.
