Flexible Information Assurance Acquisition Tool (FIA2T)

The Department of the Air Force Air Education and Training Command established this Master IDIQ on February 22, 2017, with a shared ceiling of $925 million and authority to place orders through February 19, 2027 — approximately seven months remain. The vehicle supports cryptographic and information assurance (IA) product solutions, including studies, analysis, modeling and simulation, risk assessments, and prototyping and testing of IA-related end-item subsystems and support products. Competition is structured across two subcategories: an unrestricted track and a small-business track.

General Dynamics Mission Systems, Inc. has captured dominant share, holding 14 of 39 total task orders with $310.7 million in combined potential value — approximately 67% of the vehicle's total $463.9 million combined task-order potential. Raytheon Company ranks second with 7 orders worth $49.9 million, while Viasat Inc. holds 2 orders valued at $79.9 million. The remaining nine primes hold 14 orders. This concentration is pronounced: the top two contractors account for roughly 78% of potential value.

Ordering activity has remained steady at three to six task orders annually since 2020, with six orders placed in 2024. Obligated dollars total $329.2 million (71% of combined potential value), indicating sustained execution. Task-order economics are highly variable, ranging from $5,000 post-award conference orders to mega-orders exceeding $79 million. Recent large awards include a $79.9 million Viasat order for evolved strategic satellite communications ground and space equipment (ceiling $79.9 million), a $64.9 million General Dynamics order for combined HAIPE and space ground operating equipment supporting crypto modernization (obligated $40.3 million), and a $53.3 million General Dynamics development effort (obligated $40.8 million).

The Air Education and Training Command funds 28 of 39 orders ($217.3 million combined potential value); Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center funds 4 orders ($170.2 million). Roughly 82% of task orders carry no set-aside designation; 18% are partial small-business awards. The vehicle's customer base reaches six distinct federal agencies, but Air Force programs dominate. Place of performance is not specified in the source material.

Support material solutions and analysis for cryptographic and information assurance (IA) products. Contract requirements include studies, analysis, modeling and simulation of IA related needs, capabilities, and future efforts; developing risk assessments; and prototyping and testing of IA related end-item subsystems or support products.
