The U.S. Air Force awarded a delivery order valued at $15,000 to the U.S. Civilian Research and Development Foundation (CRDF Global) on August 1, 2013, with completion targeted for September 26, 2014. This delivery order supports the government's objective of facilitating research in the former Soviet Union and will be performed at CRDF Global's offices in Rosslyn, Virginia. The contract employs a cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing structure with no set-aside designation, reflecting CRDF Global's status as an unrestricted federal contractor. This award represents a single delivery order under one of CRDF Global's broader indefinite delivery contract vehicles with the federal government.
