The Air Force Ammunition BBU-35A/B 2016-2021 Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is a multi-year federal contract vehicle designed to meet the United States Air Force Materiel Command's requirements for impulse cartridges, specifically the BBU-35A/B and BBU-36A/B models. The contract supports the acquisition of specialized ammunition components used in military weapons and ordnance systems, with a focus on supplying National Stock Number (NSN) cartridges for various military platforms. The master IDIQ has a shared ceiling value of $85 million and was established to provide a flexible procurement mechanism for these critical munitions components over a five-year period.
The contract has primarily been executed through firm-fixed-price delivery orders awarded to two primary contractors: CCI Capco, LLC (doing business as Valor Tactical Innovation) and Amtec Corp. Delivery orders have ranged in value from approximately $173,000 to over $13 million, with typical performance periods spanning six months to two years. Most task orders have not been set aside for small businesses, though a few initial orders in 2016 were designated as partial small business set-asides. The contractors are predominantly located in Colorado and South Dakota, with CCI Capco based in Grand Junction, Colorado, and Amtec Corp operating out of Clear Lake, South Dakota. The contract has consistently supported the Air Force Materiel Command's ongoing munitions procurement needs, enabling rapid and competitive acquisition of specialized impulse cartridges through a streamlined contracting mechanism.
