About this award
The Office of the Secretary of Defense awarded The Trustees of the Stevens Institute of Technology a delivery order valued at $9.68 million for program management support of the Systems Engineering Research Center (SERC), a Department of Defense-wide University Affiliated Research Center. This award, issued September 1, 2024, with completion targeted for August 31, 2029, operates under a cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing structure with no small business set-aside. The work will be performed in Hoboken, New Jersey, where Stevens maintains its primary operations. This delivery order is issued under Stevens' larger $520 million single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Office of the Secretary of Defense, which authorizes task orders for systems engineering research, digital engineering, artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, and other national security-relevant technical domains supporting DoD's strategic objectives.
SERC represents a network of 20+ universities and minority-serving institutions conducting over $50 million in annual research expenditures across the defense enterprise. Under this award, Stevens will provide core program management and leadership functions for the research center, including coordination across the university network and alignment of research activities with government stakeholder requirements. George Washington University serves as a major subcontractor, with Professor Zoe Szajnfarber designated as SERC Chief Scientist beginning July 24, 2025, in which capacity she will lead the Research Council, direct research strategy development, coordinate stakeholder briefings, and oversee planning initiatives that integrate the university network's research portfolio with DoD priorities. This engagement reflects Stevens' established role as a strategic research partner and UARC operator within the defense technology and systems engineering ecosystem.
