About this award
The Defense Threat Reduction Agency awarded a $2.74 million cost-no-fee definitive contract to General Electric Company's GE Research division on December 11, 2020, for the Air-Deployable Cost-Effective Organic Radiation Nodes (ACORN) program, with performance completed by June 10, 2023. The award was issued under the DTRA's broad agency announcement HDTRA1-18-S-0002, which solicited proposals for advanced nuclear detection technologies designed to improve capabilities in search, standoff detection, sensitive site exploitation, threat diagnostics and characterization, consequence management, contamination avoidance, and attribution. The ACORN project specifically addresses the DTRA's need for radiation detection systems that achieve substantial improvements over existing technologies in size, weight, power consumption, cost, compatibility, and background mitigation. Work was performed at GE Research's facility in Schenectady, New York.
The contract was awarded to GE Research without a set-aside designation, reflecting the company's status as a large, established federal contractor with demonstrated expertise in advanced technology development for defense applications. GE Research's substantial experience in specialized research and development across power systems, materials science, electronics, and advanced manufacturing positioned the company as a qualified performer for this nuclear detection technology initiative. The cost-no-fee contract structure indicates a fixed-cost arrangement with no additional profit fee, aligning with DTRA's emphasis on value-driven technology development for national security radiation detection capabilities.
