About this award

NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center awarded an $83.559 million definitive contract to Asrc Federal System Solutions LLC for research facilities and engineering support services on November 4, 2020, under a total small business set-aside. Asrc Federal is an SBA-certified 8(a) program participant and small disadvantaged business, a subsidiary of Arctic Slope Regional Corporation, an Alaskan Native Corporation.

The originating solicitation, posted August 28, 2019, requested proposals for research facility and engineering support across three primary functional areas: Dryden Aeronautical Test Range (DATR) operations and engineering, simulation lab support, and center-wide IT services. Services include labor, materials, development, testing, engineering, analysis, specification, design, installation, integration, operation, maintenance, documentation, training, and configuration control. Place of performance is Calverton, Maryland.

Period of performance runs through April 4, 2027. The contract carries firm fixed-price and time-and-materials line items. Subcontractors include Arcata Associates Inc., WV Communications Inc., Quintron Systems LLC, and a multi-vendor team providing telemetry, electronics, communications, and IT infrastructure support.

Service Contract Inventory reporting shows evolving labor engagement. FY2025 invoicing reached $8.4 million across 47.0 FTEs and 97,668 contractor hours, yielding a derived government-paid rate of $86.37 per hour. Subcontractors performed 63 percent of contractor hours in FY2025. The blended rate trend across FY2021–FY2025 averaged $85.27 per hour, with year-over-year volatility reflecting task allocation and staffing adjustments across the three service areas.
