Squadron Operations Center Support

Air Combat Command established a Master IDIQ for squadron operations center support providing C2 data, voice interconnectivity, and video relays to enable remotely piloted aircraft operations, with ordering authority through May 19, 2030. The vehicle carries a combined potential value of $225.8 million, with $119.4 million already obligated, representing 53% utilization across 13 task orders.

Ordering momentum has declined markedly. The vehicle awarded 7 orders in 2022 and 5 in 2023, but only 1 in 2024 (issued June 15, 2024), two years ago. The most recent orders show substantive scope: sustainment of RPA mission systems including operations and maintenance, design and development, installation, satellite communications relay site support, long-haul communications infrastructure (satellite and terrestrial), help desk function, warehouse support for Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, and field maintenance site support for the MQ-9 Reaper. Performance occurs at government-designated locations supporting combat lines and training operations.

Koa Lani JV LLC dominates the vehicle, holding 4 orders with $94.8 million combined potential value—roughly 42% of all potential value on the vehicle. Cape Fox Federal Integrators, LLC (2 orders, $52.8 million), Tenax Technologies LLC (2 orders, $44 million), and Nisga'a Tek, LLC (3 orders, $34.2 million) follow at a distance; the top four primes capture approximately 96% of combined potential value. Air Combat Command places 11 of 13 orders totaling $129 million in potential value, with Air National Guard and Air Force Materiel Command Aeronautical Systems Center each placing one order.

About 54% of awarded orders carry no set-aside, 38% are designated total small business, and 8% are competitive 8(a). Task-order values range widely, from $5 thousand to $52.8 million in potential value, with typical durations extending through 2028 or 2029. Cost-no-fee and firm fixed price are the dominant pricing mechanisms. With 3 years 10 months of ordering authority remaining and declining award velocity, the pipeline for new orders under this vehicle appears narrowing.

Contract provides critical squadron operations center support C2 data, voice interconnectivity and video relays to enable pilots and operators to fly and control remotely piloted aircraft.
