About this award
The U.S. Air Force awarded a $2.15M firm fixed-price delivery order to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) on September 22, 2025, with performance completion targeted for September 21, 2026. This delivery order funds engineering and research activities related to the degradation of systems and materials due to operational use, commonly referred to as aging. Work will be performed at SwRI's Colorado Springs, Colorado facility. The award is issued under the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center's single-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, which provides a streamlined vehicle for procuring specialized engineering support and research services addressing system and material degradation across the Air Force. No set-aside designation was applied to this procurement, indicating SwRI competed in an unrestricted competition.
As a prominent San Antonio-based nonprofit research and development organization with over 2,700 employees, SwRI brings substantial multidisciplinary capabilities to support the Air Force's structural life extension objectives. The institute maintains extensive experience delivering advanced engineering services to federal defense agencies, including NASA and the Department of Defense, with demonstrated expertise in aircraft structural integrity programs and technical evaluations. This delivery order supports the Center for Aircraft Structural Life Extension (CASTLE) mission, enabling research either initiated by external Air Force customers or by CASTLE itself to extend the operational life of critical defense systems and materials.
Description
