# AEVEX Wins Nearly $400M UAS IDIQ

AEVEX announced on November 10, 2026, that it received a multi-year indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract with a ceiling of nearly **$400 million** to provide unmanned aircraft systems and related support to an unidentified U.S. customer. The ceiling is not guaranteed spending: orders will be placed as needs arise, and the customer, specific systems, contract number, and ordering schedule have not been disclosed.

- The IDIQ creates potential demand for scalable UAS production and mission support, but actual work and timing depend on future task orders.
- Contractors should track task-order announcements for details on requirements and ordering activity; the available information does not identify subcontracting paths or a named customer.
- AEVEX’s award signals continued procurement interest in adaptable unmanned aircraft capabilities, while limited award details constrain near-term market assessments.
