The T-11 Personnel Parachute System is a master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle for advanced tactical parachute systems used in mass-tactical static line airdrop operations. The contract supports the U.S. Army's Program Executive Office Soldier by procuring personnel parachute systems designed to improve soldier safety during airborne operations. These parachute systems feature a decreased rate of descent, low opening shock, virtually no oscillation, and enable soldiers to wear body armor with higher exit weights while reducing landing force impact. The IDIQ has a shared ceiling of $249 million and has been primarily awarded to two prime contractors: Airborne Systems North America of California, Inc. (a TransDigm Group subsidiary) and Mills Manufacturing Corporation. Delivery orders typically range from $50,000 to $18.9 million, with performance periods spanning 1-2 years. Task orders have been consistently issued by the U.S. Army Materiel Command Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM) and the Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center. The contracts are consistently structured as firm fixed-price delivery orders, with no specific small business or other set-aside designations. Performance locations include Santa Ana, California (Airborne Systems) and Woodfin, North Carolina (Mills Manufacturing), focusing on manufacturing, inspection, and delivery of parachute systems, components, and related services.
