About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

Bluehalo, LLC was awarded a $6.89M delivery order by the Air Force Research Laboratory for high-performance optical coatings and materials research and survivability studies, with performance at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio and completion targeted for October 31, 2022. The contract was structured as a cost-plus-fixed-fee arrangement with no small business set-aside and was issued under the Materials Research and Survivability Studies (MaRSS) indefinite delivery vehicle. This delivery order aligns with AFRL's broader research priorities in advanced materials and optical technologies critical to defense applications, leveraging Bluehalo's established expertise in materials science and specialized research capabilities at the agency's primary materials research facility.

The contract engaged subcontractors including Table Mountain Optics for narrow band coatings development work and Zurich Instruments AG for specialized electronic measurement equipment and materials procurement. This subcontracting structure reflects Bluehalo's role as an integrator of advanced research capabilities, drawing on specialized optical coating expertise and precision instrumentation to support the government's materials research objectives. The award demonstrates AFRL's continued reliance on Bluehalo as a research and development partner, with the company subsequently receiving numerous additional task orders under the MaRSS and related AFRL indefinite delivery vehicles totaling hundreds of millions of dollars in aggregate value.
