The U.S. Air Force has awarded 17 companies positions on a potential $499 million contract to design, develop, test and deliver anti-tamper systems to protect critical program information and technologies from adversarial tamper efforts.
The Air Force Life Cycle Management at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio launched a competitive acquisition process and received 20 offers for the multiple-award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract, the Department of Defense said Wednesday.
The platforms to be purchased through the IDIQ contract will be integrated into a wide range of DOD programs.
The service branch will obligate $1,000 per vendor using research, development, test and evaluation funds for fiscal year 2024 and expects work to occur in the continental U.S. through Feb. 28, 2030.
In October 2022, a solicitation notice was issued for the multiple-award contract. Secure processing, volume protection and sensors and cryptographic protection are the IDIQ contract’s technology and product development areas.
