The Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology Directorate awarded a $300,000 cost-no-fee delivery order to Northeastern University on August 20, 2024, for a literature review examining the effects of metal properties on the performance of head-mounted equipment (HME). This task order, issued under a Blanket Order Agreement (BOA), operates as a child contract within a larger vehicle and carries an ultimate completion date of December 13, 2026. The work will be performed in Washington, DC, and no set-aside designation was applied to this award. This modification (P00001) serves to closeout the task order upon completion.

Northeastern University, a leading private research institution headquartered in Boston, brings substantial expertise in research and development services across engineering and advanced materials disciplines relevant to this effort. The university maintains an extensive portfolio of federal contracts and grants, including recent work with the Department of Defense, National Institutes of Health, and National Science Foundation. As a comprehensive research institution with established capabilities in specialized technical research, Northeastern is well-positioned to deliver the analytical and technical literature review required to support the Science and Technology Directorate's mission in evaluating equipment performance and material science applications for homeland security applications.
