About this vehicle
The Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center PEO Aviation awarded this Master IDIQ on April 6, 2017, to provide technical services and field support for the Tactical Unmanned Aircraft Systems (TUAS) Shadow RQ-7B platform, the Universal Ground Control Station (UGCS), and the Universal Ground Data Terminal (UGDT), in CONUS and OCONUS locations. Ordering closed on April 5, 2022, making this vehicle inactive for pursuit of new work.
The vehicle is substantially obligated. Eleven task orders totaling $68.2 million in combined potential value have been awarded, with $57.4 million (84%) obligated. The most recent order was placed in July 2024, despite the ordering deadline having passed nearly five years earlier, indicating lingering administrative activity. Work includes new equipment training classes, engineering services (payload integration, A-PNT systems integration, GPS resiliency), and sustainment support. Order values range from approximately $242,000 to $19.7 million, with pricing structured as either firm fixed price or cost-plus fixed fee depending on scope.
Textron Systems Corporation dominates the vehicle, holding five of eleven orders worth $42.6 million combined potential value (62% of total). Leidos, Inc. secured four orders valued at $15 million, and Mag DS Corp holds two orders worth $10.7 million. No set-aside designations were used across any task orders. Demand concentrates within the awarding agency itself — PEO Aviation placed eight orders valued at $49.3 million — with three orders totaling $18.9 million placed by Army Materiel Command's Aberdeen Proving Ground contracting office.
Activity peaked in 2018 with six orders, then declined sharply to one order per year in 2019 and 2020. A single large order in July 2024 for new equipment training ($19.7 million ceiling) represents the only recent activity. The vehicle's shared ceiling of $900 million was never approached, reflecting its limited use and niche focus within the Shadow platform sustainment ecosystem. New business pursuit is not feasible given the closed ordering period.
