About this vehicle
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center Eglin Air Force Base awarded this small-business-set-aside Master IDIQ for production of the BLU-136/B area attack warhead on October 1, 2019, with a shared ceiling of $600 million and authority to place orders through September 30, 2026—approximately two months of ordering time remaining.
The vehicle is a multiple-award IDIQ (minimum two contracts) under NAICS 332993, Ordnance and Accessories Manufacturing, with a size standard of 1,500 employees. Work covers manufacturing of warhead cases and components in accordance with a government-provided Technical Data Package and is performed domestically. All work requires registration in the Joint Certification Program and the System for Award Management database; foreign participation as a prime or subcontractor is prohibited.
Through April 30, 2025, the vehicle executed 16 delivery orders with a combined potential value of $260.9 million (100% obligated). Two small-business primes divide the work equally by order count: Major Tool & Machine Inc. (8 orders, $111.2 million) and Faxon Machining, LLC (8 orders, $149.7 million). Ordering activity accelerated from a steady two orders per year in 2021–2023 to four in 2024, then moderated to two in 2025. Task orders carry firm-fixed-price pricing and typical values range from $6 million to $37 million. Recent orders span facilitization and pilot production (2020), low-rate initial production (2021), full-rate production (2022–2024), and continuing case production (2024–2025).
The set-aside mix splits approximately 63% Total Small Business (10 orders) and 37% unrestricted (6 orders). Ordering split between two customer organizations within Air Force Materiel Command: the parent Materiel Command itself (8 orders, $188.4 million) and the Lifecycle Management Center at Eglin (8 orders, $72.5 million). Obligated dollars against the $600 million ceiling leave approximately $339.1 million in remaining authority. Near-term completions occur through November 2026, coinciding with the vehicle's sunset date.
