About this award
Applied Research Associates, Inc. (ARA), through its Southwest Division, was awarded a delivery order contract valued at $10.6 million by the Office of the Secretary of Defense for Joint Munitions Effectiveness Manuals (JMEM) development and sustainment work. The contract, which carries a total small business set-aside designation, was awarded on April 1, 2023, with performance scheduled through January 31, 2025, and will be executed at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. The contract employs a cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing structure, reflecting the research and analysis nature of weapons effectiveness work. ARA, a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, brings substantial expertise in advanced technical solutions, modeling and simulation, and weapons effectiveness analysis for defense agencies, with prior Department of Defense contracts exceeding $26 million for JMEM-related activities.
The contract integrates multiple information technology subcontractors to support project infrastructure and systems requirements. Government Acquisitions Inc., an SBA-certified HUBZone small business, provides IT equipment and hardware support across multiple subcontract awards spanning from May 2023 through December 2024. Additional IT service providers include Amazon Web Services for cloud computing and infrastructure services, Technology Solutions Provider LLC for software licensing and IT subscription renewals, Smartbear Software for development tools and testing software, Sterling Computers Corporation for software procurement, and Insight Global LLC for staffing support and technical consulting. This multi-vendor subcontracting approach reflects the complexity of the JMEM program, which requires sustained technical analysis capabilities combined with robust IT infrastructure to maintain munitions effectiveness documentation and modeling systems supporting Department of Defense acquisition and operational planning requirements.
