Arlington, Virginia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 6, 2024) - Shift5, the observability platform for onboard operational technology (OT), today announced it has been awarded a multiple-award indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract with a ceiling of $975M and dedicated pools for Full and Open competition (F&O) and Small Business Set-Asides (SBSA). With this award, the Shift5 Platform is able to compete as an SBSA, in supporting the efforts of the U.S. Air Force Rapid Sustainment Office (RO) and other DoD entities to accelerate the delivery of critical operational solutions, and to develop, maintain, and deploy innovative technologies that enhance the reliability, maintenance, and sustainment of weapon systems.

The Shift5 Platform is a commercial, dual-use, subscription-based solution that enables multiple branches and combatant commands of the U.S. military with smarter, faster decisions through real-time data access, contextual insights, and actionable analytics at the edge to improve fleet readiness, reliability, and lethality.

"This IDIQ gives Shift5 a unique opportunity to deploy its solutions rapidly and to support an existentially important matter for the Department of Defense - the availability and active readiness of its fleet assets," said Josh Lospinoso, CEO and co-founder, Shift5. "We're eager to make Shit5's innovative technology available through this quick path to market across the Air Force RO and complementary organizations."

The primary users of this IDIQ are the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) Product Support Engineering Division (EZP), AFLCMC Rapid Sustainment Office (RO), and Air Force Installation Contracting Center (AFICC); however the contract vehicle also offers extensibility across the DoD, enabling usage from any service or branch focused on missions within the IDIQ's scope.
