# Leonardo DRS Wins NASA and JIATF-401 Contracts

Leonardo DRS secured a place on NASA’s 10-year SEWP VI procurement vehicle and a separate Joint Interagency Task Force 401 counter-UAS IDIQ contract with a **$500 million ceiling**. SEWP VI’s ordering window opens November 1, 2026, giving agencies access to the vehicle for technology procurements; the IDIQ ceiling is not guaranteed revenue, and actual work depends on task orders and obligations.

- Contractors can prepare for SEWP VI task-order solicitations as ordering opens in nine days, on November 1, 2026.
- Government buyers can use the SEWP VI vehicle for technology procurements and the JIATF-401 IDIQ for counter-UAS requirements.
- Businesses assessing the awards should distinguish the IDIQ’s stated ceiling from funded or obligated work and evaluate opportunities at the task-order level.
