Powerus Awarded U.S. Air Force IDIQ Contract Up to $90 Million for Aerial Denial
Competitively awarded indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract has a ceiling of up to $90 million and runs through mid-2028.
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Autonomous Power Corporation, doing business as “Powerus,” today announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Tandem Defense LLC, has been awarded a competitively bid contract by the U.S. Air Force for Group 1 aerial-denial unmanned aircraft systems, with a maximum value of $90 million over the life of the award. The contract also provides for ancillary support equipment, operator training, and field service representative support.
The award is structured as an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract, under which the Air Force may place individual orders against the ceiling as requirements arise. Work will be performed at locations determined by follow-on task orders. The period of performance under the contract extends through mid-2028, subject to government funding availability, task-order issuance, and the government’s right to terminate for convenience. The contract is managed by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio.
Revenue to Powerus will depend on the individual task orders the Air Force places against the ceiling over the term of the contract. The $90 million figure represents the maximum potential value of the contract and is not a guaranteed or committed amount. Actual revenue may be materially less than the ceiling amount depending on task-order volume, government funding, program priorities, and other factors. As of the date of this release, the Air Force has obligated initial funding, with additional orders to be placed at the government’s discretion.
According to Powerus, Tandem Defense, a Powerus company, is a U.S.-based manufacturer of unmanned aircraft systems for military, government, and law enforcement customers.
