About this program
The Small Diameter Bomb Increment I (SDB I) is an Acquisition Category II Major Capability Acquisition program managed by the Department of Defense. This weapons system program encompasses the development, production, and sustainment of precision-guided munitions designed for integration across multiple aircraft platforms including the F-16, F-22, F-35, and AC-130. The program's scope includes not only the munitions themselves but also associated delivery systems, test assets, training equipment, and aircraft integration efforts.
Contract awards under this program typically range from small purchase orders of $6,440 to major production contracts exceeding $150 million, with performance periods spanning from a few months to nearly 10 years. The primary contractors are Boeing and Raytheon Company, with key subcontractors including BAE Systems, Honeywell Aerospace, and Creation Technologies New Mexico. The majority of contracts are awarded through the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Eglin Air Force Base, predominantly using firm-fixed-price and cost-plus-fixed-fee contract types. Deliverables include production lots of munitions, bomb rack units, test vehicles, simulation systems, engineering services, and sustainment support. While most contracts have no set-aside designation, there are occasional small business and 8(a) set-asides for smaller components and services. The program has a significant foreign military sales component, with contracts supporting integration and delivery to Israel, Sweden, Norway, and the Netherlands.
