About this vehicle
Air Force Materiel Command established the MJU-53/B 2019 Master IDIQ for countermeasure flares on July 29, 2019, but ordering closed on July 28, 2022 — this vehicle is no longer accepting new orders. The shared ceiling was $90 million. All nine awarded task orders closed or are completing; the most recent order issued on July 27, 2022.
The vehicle funded only Air Force Materiel Command programs across its entire life, with no cross-agency demand. Two primes split the work nearly equally: Kilgore Flares Company LLC received four orders worth $36.2 million combined potential value, while Armtec Countermeasures Co received five orders worth $28.4 million. The vehicle contracted only unrestricted (non-set-aside) work.
Task orders ranged from $3,000 proof-of-concept awards to large production orders exceeding $34.6 million obligated value. Combined potential value across all nine orders was $64.6 million; combined dollars obligated reached $95.4 million, indicating substantial scope additions or modifications post-award. Two orders carried particularly large obligated amounts: a $34.6 million delivery order to Armtec (awarded September 16, 2020, with performance extending through April 30, 2025) and a $22.5 million delivery order also to Armtec (awarded December 23, 2019). Pricing on all orders was firm fixed price. Ordering momentum declined sharply in 2022, with only one order placed that year, following three orders in 2019, three in 2020, and two in 2021.
This vehicle closed to new business nearly four years ago. Current interest depends on whether performance is still active on remaining task orders or whether a successor vehicle exists under Air Force Materiel Command for countermeasure flare procurement.
