The Open Architecture Standards Management Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, awarded by the U.S. Air Force, focuses on developing, updating, managing, and providing configuration control for Open Mission Systems (OMS) and Universal Command and Control Interface (UCI) standards. The primary objective is to promote adaptability, flexibility, and expandability across various military systems by establishing open architecture standards that simplify integration, reduce technical risks, and lower overall system ownership costs. These standards are designed to enable affordable technology refresh, capability evolution, system element reuse, and independent development while accommodating diverse cybersecurity approaches.

Task orders under this contract typically range from $400,000 to $15,300,000 and are cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery orders with durations spanning one to three years. Frequent prime contractors include major defense technology firms such as Lockheed Martin Corporation, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, BAE Systems, Boeing, Raytheon Company, and L3Harris Technologies. The primary funding agency is the Secretary of the Air Force, with performance locations predominantly in Florida (Melbourne), California (El Segundo), and Missouri (St. Louis). None of the task orders have been set aside for specific business types, and they consistently focus on software development, systems integration, technical services, and open architecture standards management to support Air Force mission and technical systems development efforts.
