The Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (UUV) Family of Systems (FoS) is a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle managed by the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) that enables the procurement of hardware, materials, supplies, and services for developing, building, fabricating, integrating, evaluating, and supporting unmanned undersea vehicle technologies. Specifically designed to advance the U.S. Navy's underwater autonomous systems capabilities, the contract allows for the acquisition of components, software, prototypes, and technical services related to unmanned maritime platforms. The contract has a total shared ceiling of $794,530,000 and was originally awarded in July 2018, with an ordering period extending through July 2027.

Task orders under this IDIQ consistently demonstrate a focus on advanced underwater vehicle technologies, with recent awards ranging from approximately $250,000 to $28 million. Frequent prime contractors include Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Lockheed Martin Corporation, Draper Laboratory, and General Atomics. The task orders typically involve cost-plus-fixed-fee or firm fixed-price arrangements for engineering services, prototype development, software integration, and technical support across various UUV system components. These task orders are predominantly awarded by NAVSEA, with work primarily performed in locations like Newport, Rhode Island; Woburn, Massachusetts; and Virginia Beach, Virginia. None of the recent task orders utilized specific small business set-aside designations, and the contracts consistently emphasize development of autonomous underwater vehicle technologies, sensor systems, and maritime engineering solutions.
