About this award
The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded a $54.6 million ceiling, cost-no-fee definitive contract to Wichita State University on May 15, 2019, for Modeling for Affordable, Sustainable Composites (MASC) work, with no set-aside used. Place of performance is Wichita, Kansas, and ultimate completion is November 19, 2026. The prime is a publicly funded state institution of higher education.
The originating pre-solicitation is an open Broad Agency Announcement from AFRL's Structural Materials Division (AFRL/RXC), covering ceramic and polymer matrix composites, metallic materials, composite performance prediction, characterization and sensing, and integrated computational materials engineering. Stated objectives include propulsion efficiency, lightweight space and hypersonic structures, thermal protection systems, and sustainment of aging airframes. The BAA lists an estimated $800 million program value across multiple contracts, individual awards from $50,000 to $50 million, performance periods of 12 to 60 months, and cost-plus-fixed-fee, firm-fixed-price, and cost reimbursement arrangements. White papers were initially due September 20, 2023, with selected offerors given 30 working days for full proposals, and the solicitation remains open through September 20, 2027.
Named subcontractors include Fiber Dynamics, Inc., which fabricates MASC test panels; Southwest Research Institute, which works on improvements to the Virtual Textile Morphology Suite software; and the University of Texas at Arlington, which works on machine-learning failure mode prediction for bonded joints. The team also includes additional university and research-institute subcontractors.
