About this award
Bluehalo, LLC was awarded a $12.9 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order by the Air Force Research Laboratory on September 14, 2020, to support personnel protection against flash-blindness and ocular threats. The work, performed in Beavercreek, Ohio, with an ultimate completion date of December 15, 2023, represents a continuation and advancement of the Flash and Laser Airborne Protection System (FLAPS) program. This delivery order was issued under an indefinite delivery vehicle and carries no small business set-aside designation, reflecting Bluehalo's competitive standing as an established research and development partner for AFRL.
The prime contractor engaged five major subcontractors to execute the technical scope: Scientific Applications & Research Associates, Inc. (supporting the Bolder Vision Optik effort awarded February 2022); Intellisense Systems Inc. (continuing Nuclear Flash-Blindness Eye Protection development awarded October 2021); Peraton Inc. (providing research and development support for pilot eye protection awarded August 2021); Alphamicron, Incorporated (supporting nuclear flash protection performance improvements awarded December 2020); and Spectrus, LTD (supporting laser eye protection development in visible and near-infrared spectral regions awarded December 2020). This subcontracting structure leveraged specialized expertise across flash-blindness protection, laser eye protection materials development, vision science, and cockpit compatibility assessment to advance protective eyewear technologies for U.S. Air Force aircrews against both friendly and hostile optical threats.
