Counter-Unmanned Aircraft System Engagement System

The United States Marine Corps established this Master IDIQ for counter-unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) detection and engagement capabilities on October 16, 2024, with ordering authority through October 15, 2029. The vehicle carries no set-aside designation and is unrestricted to all vendors. Ordering remains active with approximately three years and two months of procurement authority remaining.

Eleven task orders have been awarded since vehicle establishment, generating $46.6 million in combined potential value with $42.3 million already obligated (91% of potential value). The pace has been steady: six orders in 2024 and five in 2025. All work is being performed for the Marine Corps only.

The awarded work reflects a heavy emphasis on testing and system integration. Task orders are funding first article testing (FAT) units (multiple orders ranging from $4.3 million to $11.4 million each), engineering, integration, and testing services (two orders at $6.2 million and $10.4 million ceiling), spare parts packages ($320,000 to $1.4 million), program management and support ($575,000 to $625,000), and instructor and key personnel training ($218,255). Most task orders are firm fixed price; two engineering, integration, and testing orders use Cost Plus Fixed Fee.

Anduril Industries, Inc. and Invariant Corporation dominate the vehicle, holding six and five orders respectively and capturing 100 percent of awarded work. Anduril carries $27.6 million in combined potential value; Invariant carries $18.9 million. No other primes have been awarded task orders.

Individual task-order ceiling values range from roughly $200,000 (program management support) to $11.4 million (FAT units). Typical durations run from four to twelve months for FAT and program support work to twenty months for engineering, integration, and testing efforts. Most task orders with completion dates in 2025 and early 2026 are nearing delivery. The largest remaining task order (M6785425D0056-M6785425F0036, engineering and integration services to Invariant) carries an $10.4 million ceiling and runs through May 31, 2027.
