About this IDV
This Other Transaction multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) was awarded to BWXT Ordnance Tennessee, Inc. on August 1, 2024, with a ceiling value of $267.2 million for the production of depleted uranium (DU) classified penetrators under the "ROBUST 1" program. The contract is funded by the Program Executive Office Ammunition (PEO Ammunition), a defense agency organization within the Department of Defense, and was awarded on a non-set-aside basis through competitive procurement. BWXT Ordnance Tennessee, a subsidiary of L3Harris Technologies, Inc., specializes in manufacturing high-purity depleted uranium components and advanced military ammunition systems, positioning it as a critical supplier for kinetic penetrator technology used in modern armored warfare platforms.
The IDV establishes a vehicle through which the government can issue task orders for the design, engineering, and manufacture of depleted uranium penetrators employed in tank ammunition rounds and similar defense applications. BWXT Ordnance Tennessee brings substantial relevant experience to this engagement, including ongoing performance under a $75.3 million single-award indefinite delivery contract with PEO Ammunition for M829A4 120-millimeter tank round penetrator production, which requires approximately 2,000 units annually through February 2028. The company's broader portfolio encompasses work with the National Nuclear Security Administration on high-purity depleted uranium production services valued at $1.63 billion through September 2035, demonstrating technical expertise, security clearances, and manufacturing capabilities essential for classified defense munitions production. This IDV award enables flexible procurement of critical penetrator technologies while maintaining supply chain continuity for ongoing military readiness requirements.
