About this award
The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded a $1.8 million delivery order to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) on October 19, 2020, for a project titled "Assessing Performance of Weapon Systems Using Synergy of Advanced Testing and Enhanced Modeling—Section 889." The cost-plus-fixed-fee contract, which concluded on October 19, 2022, was performed in San Antonio, Texas. This delivery order represents work under SwRI's broader $250 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Air Force Academy's Center for Aircraft Structural Life Extension, which supports engineering and research activities related to system and material degradation across multiple Air Force platforms. No set-aside designation was applied to this award, reflecting SwRI's competitive strength as a nonprofit research organization with over 2,700 staff members serving numerous federal defense and civilian agencies.
SwRI engaged Vision Research, Inc., a subsidiary of Ametek Inc. and specialized manufacturer of Phantom high-speed digital imaging systems, as a subcontractor beginning July 24, 2021, for the rental of electronic equipment. Vision Research's role in providing advanced imaging technology supports SwRI's broader mission of conducting specialized testing and analysis for Air Force weapon system assessment and evaluation activities. Vision Research has established itself as a primary supplier of ultra-high-speed camera systems to federal agencies across the Department of Defense and holds multiple indefinite delivery vehicles, including a $2.03 million single-award contract with Naval Sea Systems Command for Phantom camera procurement and maintenance services.
