About this award

The Defense Security Cooperation Agency awarded Arizona State University a definitive firm fixed-price contract valued at $24.5M on September 16, 2024, to provide Irregular Warfare Center research support services through September 2029. Under this non-set-aside contract, ASU will deliver academic research on irregular warfare topics, subject matter expertise to support IWC events, and develop curriculum and educational solutions in support of the U.S. Government-run Irregular Warfare Center (IWC) Center of Excellence. The contract requires ASU to provide qualified personnel with at least Secret-level security clearances, including a Program Manager, Senior Professor, and Research Assistants, with performance based in Arlington, Virginia. Helios Global, Inc., a veteran-owned small business based in Chesapeake, Virginia, was awarded a sub-contract in February 2025 to support the Center for Irregular Warfare Research and Education (CIWRE) under this prime contract.

The underlying solicitation, released by the Department of Defense Washington Headquarters Service in May 2024, sought research development support services combining firm-fixed-price and labor hour/time-and-materials pricing components across a one-year base period with four one-year option periods. ASU's selection reflects its established capabilities as a leading research institution in delivering complex defense and national security-related research initiatives, leveraging expertise across multiple scientific and technical domains to address irregular warfare challenges.
