About this award
Montana State University was awarded a Cost No Fee contract by the Research Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM), a Defense Department agency, on October 1, 2018, to conduct research on stretch-broken carbon fiber for primary aircraft structure applications. The contract, valued at approximately $39.3 million with a completion date of September 30, 2029, represents a definitive contract with no set-aside designation. Work is being performed at MSU's Bozeman, Montana facility, where the university will leverage its established research capabilities in advanced materials and engineering to support the Department of Defense's aircraft development and sustainment objectives. Utah State University serves as a subcontractor, with an award issued July 1, 2020, to provide carbon strength testing services in support of the primary research effort.
As a premier land-grant research institution with extensive experience delivering technical solutions to federal agencies, Montana State University brings established expertise in complex engineering research and materials science to this effort. The Cost No Fee contract structure indicates a focus on reimbursing direct costs incurred in conducting the research without an additional profit margin, typical for significant research initiatives in defense applications. The multi-year performance period through 2029 reflects the long-term nature of materials research and development for aerospace applications, allowing MSU and its subcontractors to conduct thorough testing and validation of carbon fiber technologies intended for use in primary aircraft structural components.
