About this award

The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) call to the University of California, Davis for cyclotron beam time rental services with a ceiling value of $41,895. This firm fixed-price contract, which commenced on October 1, 2025, and extends through November 30, 2025, represents a child order under an existing BPA vehicle. UC Davis will provide access to its sophisticated cyclotron facility located in Davis, California, enabling AFRL to conduct nuclear physics research and ion beam experiments essential to Air Force research missions. This award reflects AFRL's established relationship with UC Davis's research infrastructure capabilities and represents a non-competitive procurement mechanism typical of blanket purchase agreements for accessing specialized scientific equipment and services.

The award carries no small business set-aside designation, consistent with UC Davis's status as a major research institution and primary federal contractor. As a prominent Land Grant university with extensive federal contracting experience dating to 2001, UC Davis maintains an established reputation for delivering sophisticated research support services to defense and civilian agencies. The university's cyclotron facility represents a critical national research asset that supports fundamental and applied research in physics, materials science, and other disciplines aligned with federal research priorities. This contract exemplifies how federal agencies leverage academic research infrastructure through streamlined procurement vehicles to advance critical scientific missions without requiring competitive solicitations for each individual usage period.
