About this award
The U.S. Air Force awarded a $5.35 million Cost Plus Fixed Fee definitive contract to Great Lakes Sound & Vibration Inc. (GLSV) on January 2, 2024, for the development of an Aeroacoustic Reproduction System (ARS). This contract, which carries no small business set-aside designation, will be performed in Houghton, Michigan, and is scheduled for completion by September 30, 2025. GLSV, an SBA-certified HUBZone small business specializing in noise and vibration engineering and advanced manufacturing, was selected based on the best overall evaluation of technical approach and cost considerations.
The ARS project encompasses five primary phases: research and analysis, prototype design with characterization testing, full-scale design and development with operational assessment, end-user employment exercises, and system refinement with additional builds. Deliverables also include the creation of training manuals and materials, as well as consideration of full life cycle support measures for the system. This contract represents a significant research and development engagement for GLSV beyond its typical portfolio of vehicle component supply work, leveraging the firm's established expertise in acoustic engineering and prototype development to support the Air Force's specialized testing and evaluation requirements.
