About this vehicle
The Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Aviation established this Master IDIQ for tactical unmanned aerial systems on July 25, 2019, with a shared ceiling of $99.5 million, but the vehicle is no longer active—the last date to place orders was July 24, 2022, three years and eleven months ago. Ordering has closed and no new awards under this vehicle are possible.
The vehicle procured non-developmental tactical unmanned aircraft systems, system components, spare parts, contractor logistical support, field service representatives, and training across 23 delivery orders issued through October 2021. Orders concentrated in the first three years: six in 2019, seven in 2020, and ten in 2021, with no further activity recorded thereafter. Of the $42 million combined potential value across all task orders, $37 million (88 percent) has been obligated.
Four primes shared the awarded work equally. Arcturus UAV captured $11.8 million across five orders (largest by potential value), L3Harris Unmanned Systems held $11.2 million across six orders, Martin UAV held $11.1 million across seven orders (most frequent awardee), and Textron Systems captured $7.9 million across five orders. The vehicle carried no set-aside restrictions; all 23 orders were unrestricted competitive awards.
The Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Aviation placed 21 of 23 orders representing $41.8 million in potential value, with the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Redstone Arsenal contributing two orders valued at $227 thousand. Largest individual orders were system purchases from Arcturus UAV ($4.2 million to $5.5 million ceiling), L3Harris ($9.3 million to $10.4 million ceiling), Arcturus UAV logistics ($4.3 million ceiling), and Aerosonde HQ systems ($3.3 million to $4.8 million ceiling). Typical supporting orders for spares, logistics, and field service ranged from under $20 thousand to roughly $450 thousand.
