# JIATF-401 Awards Smart Shooter Counter-UAS IDIQ

On September 29, 2026, the Department of War’s Joint Interagency Task Force 401 (JIATF-401) awarded Smart Shooter a 36-month, single-award IDIQ with a maximum ordering ceiling of **$150 million** for SMASH counter-UAS fire-control systems, software and updates, training, and support under the Domestic Shield Program and related missions. The ceiling is not guaranteed spending: quantities, funding, delivery schedules, and work locations will be set through individual orders, with performance estimated through September 27, 2029.

- Smart Shooter is the sole supplier for the systems and services covered by this IDIQ; the reported 50 bids received indicate substantial competition during the solicitation, but direct orders under the award will go to the selected contractor.
- Suppliers and integrators can assess potential support, training, software, and complementary capability needs as individual orders define requirements; the award does not guarantee that those opportunities will be subcontracted.
- Procurement teams should distinguish the $150 million ceiling from funded demand and use order-level releases—not the ceiling alone—to evaluate quantities, timing, and potential market opportunities.
