BAE Systems Information And Electronic Systems Integration Inc.

BAE Systems Information And Electronic Systems Integration Inc., doing business as BAE Systems Integrated Defense, is a defense electronics and aircraft support equipment manufacturer and prime contractor on F-16 sustainment contracts with the U.S. Air Force Materiel Command, competing full-and-open without set-aside designations. The company is a subsidiary of BAE Systems PLC, a global defense and aerospace contractor headquartered in the United Kingdom, with U.S. operations based in Fort Worth, Texas.

BAE Systems Integrated Defense specializes in F-16 aircraft support equipment, maintenance gear, ground support systems, and repair services for both U.S. and international military fleets through the Foreign Military Sales program. The vendor's concrete work includes delivery orders for F-16 support equipment destined for multiple allied nations—Ukraine, Poland, Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia, Taiwan, Korea, Singapore, Jordan, Morocco, and Oman—as well as F-16 Viper repair services performed at Fort Worth and Hill Air Force Base. Representative prime awards include a $12.228 million delivery order for Ukraine F-16 support equipment (June 2024, Air Force Materiel Command), a $14.386 million delivery order for F-16 aircraft support equipment (December 2023, Air Force Materiel Command), and a $15.547 million delivery order for F-16 support equipment (March 2023, Air Force Materiel Command). The company also holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract valued at $3.68 million for repair and obsolescence update services on F-16 Viper Memory Loader Verifier Interim Adapters, awarded July 2025 through July 2030 by the Ogden Air Logistics Complex.

Customer concentration is extreme and single-source dependent. The Air Force Materiel Command (90 awards, $908.8 million combined potential value) and its subordinate Ogden Air Logistics Complex (20 awards, $22.6 million) together account for 99 percent of award count. The top parent vehicle is Indefinite Delivery Contract FA823221D0004, a $1.2 billion single-award IDC running through March 30, 2031, against which BAE Systems has placed 88 task orders valued at $308.8 million combined. This vehicle dominates the portfolio and anchors the vendor's entire federal footprint. Secondary vehicles include Indefinite Delivery Contract FA825118D0008 (9 task orders, $3.2 million) and Indefinite Delivery Contract FA825125D0004 (3 task orders, $1.4 million).

Activity has accelerated sharply. The vendor recorded 18 awards in 2022, 13 in 2023, and 42 in 2024—a 333 percent increase year over year—with 27 awards in 2025 and 4 to date in 2026. Recompete risk is substantial: 45 awards with ultimate completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $185.6 million, concentrated among Ukraine and allied-nation F-16 support orders scheduled to complete through mid-2027.

As a subcontractor, BAE Systems delivers F-16 aircraft components and engine inlet covers to Lockheed Martin on the Bulgaria F-16 Production Program, Slovakia F-16 Production Program, Bahrain F-16 New Production (ACAT II), Korea F-16 Peace Bridge Upgrade, and Greece Viper Upgrade Program (recent sub awards through February 2025). The company also subcontracts to Amentum Services on Boresight Alignment Electronic System transition work (October 2025). Across prime work, BAE Systems leverages a broad subcontractor base including Atap Inc., Avibank Manufacturing Inc., General Aviation Industries Inc. (woman-owned small business), Oshkosh Aerotech LLC, Kit Pack Co. Inc. (veteran-owned small business), and dozens of smaller component and equipment suppliers for specialized ground support equipment, test stands, maintenance fixtures, and aircraft components.

The vendor competes exclusively in the full-and-open competitive space with no SBA set-aside designations across its prime footprint. Opportunity concentration on a single Air Force customer and a single parent IDV creates significant business-continuity exposure; the underlying $1.2 billion IDC recompete cycle and allied-nation F-16 sales trends directly govern revenue trajectory. The subcontractor relationship with Lockheed Martin on F-16 production programs represents diversification outside the Air Force support-equipment stream but remains narrowly focused on F-16 platforms.
