The MJU-53/B 2019 Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is a multiple-award vehicle focused on procuring MJU-53/B countermeasure dispensing systems and illumination flares, specifically identified by National Stock Number 1370-01-503-1455. These military pyrotechnic products are critical for aircraft survivability, designed to decoy and distract heat-seeking missiles during aerial operations. The contract enables the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command to efficiently acquire these essential munitions from pre-qualified suppliers on an as-needed basis. The contract has primarily been executed through delivery orders awarded to two key prime contractors: Armtec Countermeasures Company (a division of Transdigm Group) and Kilgore Flares Company LLC. Task order values range significantly, from small initial orders of $3,000 to substantial awards approaching $33.6 million, with typical performance periods spanning 12-36 months. Performance locations include facilities in Arkansas, California, and Tennessee. All task orders to date have been firm fixed price with no set-aside designations, supporting various Air Force aircraft survivability and aircrew training missions. The master IDIQ vehicle has a reported shared ceiling of $90 million and was originally awarded on July 29, 2019, with task orders consistently supporting Department of Defense (DoD) and United States Air Force (USAF) requirements.
