The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for Development of Airborne Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) Sensor Systems focuses on research, development, testing, and evaluation (RDT&E) services related to advanced maritime surveillance technologies. The contract supports the development, integration, test, and evaluation of specialized airborne sensor systems and subsystems designed for submarine detection and tracking. This Master IDIQ vehicle enables NAVAIR to rapidly procure technical services and equipment for sophisticated maritime sensor development with a total shared ceiling of $50 million.

The task orders under this contract primarily involve RDT&E services, with most deliveries being firm fixed-price or cost-plus-fixed-fee arrangements. The most significant task order to date is a $24.2 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order awarded to Navmar Applied Sciences Corp (NASC), a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business, with subcontractors including Undersea Sensor Systems, Inc. and Sealandaire Technologies, Inc. Task orders typically range from $100,000 minimum guarantee orders to multi-million dollar development contracts, with performance periods extending up to June 2025. While some task orders have no specific set-aside designation, the notable $24.2 million order was a total small business set-aside. The work is primarily centered around maritime and naval research facilities, with Lockheed Martin Corporation providing additional program support on specialized projects like the Volumetric Air Deployed Active Receiver (VADAR).
