NAVAIR awarded Leonardo DRS a three-year IDIQ contract for low-rate initial production of the AN/AAQ-45 DAIRCM aircraft-survivability system. The award covers hardware, integration, engineering, program management, and logistics, with the UH-1Y and AH-1Z identified as platforms; no contract value or number was disclosed, and this is not an open solicitation.

NASA is accepting proposals through December 10, 2026, from U.S.-controlled commercial launch providers seeking to join its VADR IDIQ. The 10-year, $5 billion vehicle offers access to potential launch task orders, but applicants must meet launch-site, technical, ownership, and domestic-content requirements; vehicle inclusion does not guarantee work.

The Department of War, through JIATF-401, awarded DroneSec work to track and analyze adversary unmanned systems; the contract value and number were not disclosed. The award adds an intelligence-analysis component to a broader counter-drone portfolio that includes 10 September IDIQ awards with a combined ceiling of up to $4.15 billion.

AeroVironment announced a multiyear U.S. government IDIQ with a $940 million ceiling and approximately $315 million in initial funded work through its AxS segment. The customer and program remain undisclosed, and the ceiling represents potential ordering capacity—not guaranteed revenue or evidence of an open solicitation.

AEVEX Corp. announced a multi-year, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity award from an unnamed U.S. customer for unmanned aircraft systems and related support, with a ceiling of nearly $400 million. The ceiling is not guaranteed revenue; actual work, timing, and value will depend on task orders, none of which were disclosed.

The Missile Defense Agency selected AST SpaceMobile as a prime awardee on the SHIELD IDIQ, making it eligible to compete for future work aligned with the broader Golden Dome strategy. The announcement does not identify a funded task order, contract ceiling, or specific assignment, so awardee status should not be treated as near-term revenue.

NASA selected Voyager Technologies for the Commercial Lunar Payload Services 2 (CLPS 2) multiple-award IDIQ pool, making the company eligible to compete for lunar mission task orders. The vehicle has a $10 billion base ceiling through 2036, with an option to extend through 2041 and increase the ceiling to $15 billion; selection does not guarantee task orders or revenue.

The Defense Intelligence Agency issued an RFI for market research on its classified Solutions for Intelligence Analysis 4 IDIQ, with responses due November 24, 2026. The notice is not a solicitation, but it signals a forthcoming procurement path through the National Reconnaissance Office Acquisition Resource Center and highlights the need for classified-work readiness.

The U.S. Air Force awarded LIFT Airborne Technologies an SBIR Phase III follow-on IDIQ with an $83.4 million ceiling for next-generation fixed-wing helmets. About $4.1 million in FY2026 RDT&E funding was obligated initially; further work and funding may come through task orders, with performance expected through October 30, 2036.

The National Science Foundation re-awarded KBR a 20-year, single-award IDIQ to support U.S. Antarctic Program stations and research camps, with an $8 billion ceiling. The ceiling is not guaranteed funding, and KBR has not included the award in its backlog or book-to-bill; firms should monitor future task orders and subcontracting opportunities.

The U.S. Space Force plans a sole-source IDIQ contract with Boeing, valued at up to $945.9 million, to sustain its Wideband and Narrowband Global SATCOM systems. The proposed five-year base and 10-year option reflect the government’s stated reliance on Boeing proprietary data and insufficient license rights; the contract has not yet been awarded.

The Defense Logistics Agency awarded Vitol Aviation Co. a competitively solicited IDIQ contract with a maximum value of $230,101,364 to supply fuel at overseas locations. The ceiling is not guaranteed revenue: DLA will place orders as requirements arise during performance, which is expected to end December 31, 2027.

NASA has released the final solicitation for a five-year, $425 million small-business recompete supporting Earth science research and computing at Goddard Space Flight Center. Proposals are due December 4, 2026; bidders should assess NAICS 541715 eligibility, prepare for both cost-plus-fixed-fee and firm-fixed-price task orders, and submit questions by November 4.
