Eglin AFB Airborne Data Recorder 2010-2013

The Eglin Air Force Base (AFB) Airborne Data Recorder (ADR) Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, awarded in November 2010, focuses on providing specialized airborne data recording equipment and associated technical support for Department of Defense (DoD) developmental and operational flight test requirements. The contract vehicle supports the procurement of various airborne data recorder configurations, components, interfaces, memory modules, and related technical services across multiple weapon system platforms. Task orders under this vehicle predominantly involve the design, development, upgrade, and maintenance of advanced flight data recording technologies for military aircraft.

Task orders under this IDIQ demonstrate significant variation in scope and value, ranging from small technical support engagements around $40,000 to substantial equipment and upgrade projects exceeding $4 million. The majority of task orders are firm-fixed-price contracts with completion dates extending through October 2015, with no specific small business set-aside designations. Key task order categories include recorder modules, system interfaces, technical support roles (senior engineers, programmers), and specific platform upgrades like F-15 C/E Flight Data Recorder (FDR) modifications. While specific prime contractors are not explicitly named, the task orders suggest sophisticated engineering and technical capabilities are required, likely involving specialized aerospace and defense technology firms with expertise in avionic data recording systems.
