Insitu, Inc.

Insitu, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Boeing Company headquartered in Bingen, Washington, is a leading designer, developer, and manufacturer of tactical unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and related services for the U.S. federal government and international defense partners. The company specializes in proprietary small tactical unmanned aerial vehicles, most notably the RQ-21A Blackjack and ScanEagle platforms, which provide intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities across multiple military branches and allied nations. Insitu's comprehensive portfolio encompasses not only hardware procurement but also software solutions, maintenance services, training programs, field service representative support, engineering services, and logistics support that collectively enable sustained operational effectiveness of its UAS platforms.

Insitu has received extensive federal contract awards across multiple military departments and agencies, with work performed primarily at its Bingen, Washington headquarters and secondary locations in The Dalles, Oregon and Patuxent River, Maryland. The company's prime contract awards span numerous categories including procurement of air vehicles and components, spare parts and sustainment services, operator and maintenance training courses, field service representative deployment and support, site preparation and activation services, mobile training team services, repair of repairable components, engineering services, and program management support. The Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) represents Insitu's primary contracting partner, awarding the vast majority of delivery orders for RQ-21A Blackjack and ScanEagle systems and associated services, while the Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP), Naval Education and Training Command, Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection, and the Department of the Air Force have also awarded significant contracts. Notably, none of Insitu's federal contract awards utilize set-aside designations for small businesses or other targeted categories, reflecting Insitu's status as the sole-source manufacturer of its proprietary UAS technologies and the specialized nature of its offerings. Beyond prime contracts, Insitu serves as a subcontractor to major defense integrators including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Sierra Nevada Company, Smartronix LLC, and Mississippi State University, providing components, labor, and services in support of broader defense programs. The company's subcontract awards include procurement of UAS components such as avionics modules, fuel level sensors, bungee assemblies, and PCB assemblies, as well as labor support for fiscal year planning and software license renewals, demonstrating Insitu's role as an integrated supplier within the broader defense industrial base.

Insitu holds three primary Indefinite Delivery Vehicle (IDV) contracts with federal agencies that collectively represent over $597 million in total ceiling value. The most significant is a $590.2 million single-award contract with NAVAIR established July 1, 2022 and extending through June 30, 2026, which procures RQ-21A Blackjack and ScanEagle unmanned aircraft systems hardware, sustainment services, engineering support, training, and program management. This contract serves as the foundational vehicle through which NAVAIR issues numerous delivery orders supporting both domestic naval operations and extensive Foreign Military Sales cases to allied nations including Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, Canada, Poland, Bulgaria, Malaysia, Kenya, Lebanon, Bangladesh, Romania, Bahrain, Tunisia, Iraq, Pakistan, and Brazil. A second IDV is a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) with NAVSUP established August 25, 2022 and extending through August 25, 2027, with an estimated value exceeding $400 million, which covers procurement of unmanned aircraft systems components, spare parts, maintenance, training, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance services. This BOA has generated delivery orders exceeding $8.5 million for items including propulsion assemblies, battery power supplies, cable assemblies, tailbase components, and other UAS-related sustainment items. The third IDV is a $7.1 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract awarded July 1, 2025 by Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk for the procurement of training courses for the BlackJack UAV and ScanEagle UAS, with a base period of 12 months and two 12-month option periods, supporting the Naval Education and Training Security Assistance Field Activity's coordination of training for international government partners. Collectively, these IDVs provide NAVAIR, NAVSUP, and Naval Education and Training Command with flexible, long-term mechanisms to procure Insitu's specialized UAS capabilities and services responsive to evolving operational requirements while maintaining consistency in technical specifications, pricing, and performance standards across domestic and international defense operations.
