Agile Acquisition IDIQ

The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center at Eglin Air Force Base established the Agile Acquisition Master IDIQ on September 10, 2015, with a shared ceiling of $490 million for rapid development, testing, prototyping, and limited production of air-delivered weapons systems. The vehicle's ordering period closed on September 10, 2020, making it inactive for new task-order issuance.

The vehicle is functionally exhausted. Forty-five task orders totaling $138.1 million in combined potential value have been awarded, with $135.9 million obligated (98% of potential value). All ordering authority ended nearly six years ago. Activity peaked in 2016 with nine orders and declined thereafter; the final four orders were placed in 2020.

Boeing dominates the vehicle by a substantial margin, holding six orders worth $91.4 million combined potential value—66% of the vehicle's entire potential value. Raytheon holds the second position with six orders valued at $8.7 million, followed by Applied Research Associates with five orders at $6.5 million. Rockwell Collins and Dynetics each hold two orders and together represent $23 million. The remaining 17 contractors split the balance, with concentration heavily skewed toward Boeing.

Customer demand was almost entirely internal. AFLCMC Eglin itself placed 41 of the 45 orders, accounting for $136.6 million in potential value. Four orders to other Air Force entities (Department of the Air Force, AFLMC Research Laboratory, Air Force Sustainment Center, and DOD Washington Headquarters Service) together represent less than $1.5 million.

The vehicle employed an unrestricted-primary structure with a small-business secondary track. Seventy-six percent of awarded orders carried no set-aside designation; 24 percent (11 orders) were set aside as Total Small Business. Small-business orders were typically in the lower value tiers: the largest small-business order was $6.2 million (Massive Ordnance Penetrator warhead case vendor qualification, July 2017), while the largest unrestricted orders reached the tens of millions (M-Code Phase II at $62.7 million ceiling, M-Code GPS Receiver Development at $62.7 million ceiling, and Anti-Jam ASIC Development at $16.3 million ceiling).

Task orders spanned air-to-ground munitions integration (GBU-39, GBU-58 adapter kits, Massive Ordnance Penetrator modifications, Small Glide Munitions), receiver and guidance-system development (M-Code GPS, anti-jam circuits), electronic warfare systems (Miniature Air Launched Decoy software maintenance), and analysis studies. Place of performance included Eglin Air Force Base with work extending to subordinate and OCONUS locations as specified in individual orders. Pricing models varied from firm fixed price through cost-plus-fixed-fee to cost-no-fee arrangements, reflecting the vehicle's mix of development, integration, and production activities.

This vehicle is closed to new competition and unsuitable for bid strategy or pursuit activity.

AFLCMC/PZJ has awarded a Master IDIQ for quick reaction, testing, developing, prototyping, and limited production runs. Awarded vendor have the ability to rapidly develop and apply unique solutions to air delivered weapons systems requirements, studies, and demonstrations.
