The Common Robotic System (Individual) (CRS(I)) Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is a U.S. Army procurement vehicle for robotic systems designed for dismounted warfighter operations. The contract covers the engineering, manufacturing, development, low-rate initial production, and full-rate production of robotic mobility platforms that can operate in various mission environments. These robotic systems are compact enough to be transported via backpack and are configured with mobility platforms, payloads, and Operator Control Units (OCUs) to detect, identify, and counter hazards during military operations.

The Master IDIQ has primarily awarded task orders to two prime contractors: Foster-Miller, Inc. (doing business as Qinetiq North America) and Teledyne FLIR Unmanned Ground Systems, Inc. (Endeavor Robotics). Task orders range in value from approximately $400,000 to over $62 million, typically covering the procurement of 11 to 1,204 robotic systems, including associated tool kits, service packages, and maintenance support. The Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center, specifically the Program Executive Office for Combat Support and Combat Service Support, has been the consistent funding agency. All task orders to date have been firm fixed-price or cost-plus fixed-fee contracts without specific set-aside designations. Most work has been performed in Massachusetts, with contract performance periods ranging from several months to approximately 9 years, and the overall master IDIQ vehicle set to expire on July 30, 2025.
