The U.S. Navy has awarded 49 companies indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts worth $982.1 million combined to support the service branch’s current and future unmanned surface vehicle family of systems and subsystems.
The contractors will provide support in functional areas such as autonomy and vehicle control systems, mission support systems, payloads, non-payload sensors, ashore and host platform elements and logistics and sustainment for the Navy’s USV family of systems, the Department of Defense said Friday.
Naval Sea Systems Command received 55 offers for the multiple-award IDIQ and will obligate $1,000 in minimum contract guarantee per awardee using the Navy’s fiscal 2024 research, development, test and evaluation budget.
The awardees include Anduril Industries, AT&T, CACI International, General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc., Honeywell, Microsoft, Noblis, Persistent Systems, Saab and Teledyne FLIR Surveillance.
Work will be carried out in various locations in the contiguous U.S. through February 2030, if all options are exercised.
