Why it matters: Joint Interagency Task Force 401 (JIATF-401) runs a counter-drone (C-UAS) marketplace on an existing Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. It is hosted on the Common Hardware Systems catalog, which lists 1,600+ items overall; the validated counter-drone set is growing. First orders in Apr 2026 came to about $13M.^19,21
