About this IDV
This Other Transaction Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV), awarded to Bluehalo Labs, LLC on March 23, 2023, provides a $90.5 million ceiling for the development and engineering of 20-kilowatt-class hybrid electric light helicopter platforms under the Department of the Army's LOCUST (Low-Cost Attritable Aircraft Technology) program. The award represents a non-competitive procurement vehicle without set-asides, enabling the prime contractor to execute task orders for advanced research, development, and engineering services focused on directed energy and rotorcraft technologies. Bluehalo Labs, headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, will leverage its established expertise in space superiority, directed energy, missile defense, command and control/intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (C4ISR), and advanced sensor systems to fulfill the Army's requirements under this agreement.
The IDV structure allows for flexible task order execution across the Department of Defense and potentially other federal agencies, supporting the Army's modernization initiatives in autonomous and optionally-manned aircraft platforms. Bluehalo Labs' previous contract performance delivering flight-qualified sensor systems, counter-unmanned aerial systems technologies, and advanced research initiatives positions the company to support engineering services, program management, logistics, and technical support requirements associated with the LOCUST program objectives. This vehicle complements the contractor's existing portfolio of three significant IDVs, including a $64 million Air Force Indefinite Delivery Contract for airborne infrared truth systems and a $6.27 million Army Other Transaction Agreement for counter-small unmanned aerial systems electronic warfare capabilities, demonstrating the company's capacity to execute specialized defense technological solutions across multiple domains.
