This is a $4,348,990 cost-plus-fixed-fee definitive contract awarded by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) to Aeris LLC, a small business subchapter S corporation, for the "Multi Echelon Tactical Operational Response (MENTOR)" program. The contract has a period of performance through November 25, 2027.

The contract was awarded under a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) issued by DTRA in May 2022 seeking research and development projects in support of the agency's Chemical/Biological Technologies Department. As a small business prime contractor, Aeris has extensive experience supporting DTRA, the Air Force Space Command, and other agencies in atmospheric science, modeling, and related technical capabilities development. This includes work on systems like the Rapid-GPU Urban Modeling System (ARGUS) and chemical/biological defense tools. The contract appears to be associated with Aeris' existing Indefinite Delivery Contracts with the Air Force Space Command, through which the agency can issue task orders for specialized atmospheric modeling and analysis.
