 BAE Systems has been awarded one of four prime contractor positions on the Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization (JIEDDO) Operations Support Contract. The contract has a maximum value of approximately $452 million if all deliveries and task orders are exercised by the prime contractors.

Under the Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, BAE Systems will provide JIEDDO with in-depth and integrated analysis services, subject matter expertise and programmatic support. While the majority of the work will be performed in the continental United States, other support will be performed around the world. No task orders have been awarded to date on this IDIQ.

BAE Systems has provided analytical support since the inception of the JIEDDO Counter-IED Operations Integration Center in 2006.

BAE Systems will also provide planning support to JIEDDO strategic actions, training support, operations research as well as assistance in developing effective, feasible solutions and concepts of operations that support improvement of counter-IED systems and integration.

Other support services to be provided by the company under this contract include modeling and simulation support, data analysis from selected IED activities, and tracking and assessing counter-IED activities.
