About this award

The Department of the Army's PEO Simulation, Training and Instrumentation issued a delivery order to Verus Research, LLC on August 29, 2022, for the Deuterium-Tritium Dense Plasma Focus Neutron Effects System for Test, with an initial obligation of $5.379 million against a $38.457 million ceiling and a performance period extending through May 30, 2027.

The order is issued under an indefinite delivery contract with PEO Simulation, Training and Instrumentation supporting directed energy and nuclear effects test and evaluation programs. Place of performance is Building 200, 1 WSMR P Rt 1, White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. The effort is structured as cost-plus-fixed-fee.

The delivery order funds labor, materials, and other direct costs for construction and operation of a dense plasma focus (DPF) neutron source facility supporting weapons effects testing and diagnostic instrumentation. Work encompasses facility improvements to the Broadway Laboratory at White Sands, installation of tritium-compatible diagnostics equipment including gas chromatography and liquid scintillation detection systems, procurement of specialized components including alignment structures and carousel parts, and technical subject-matter expertise consulting on project planning, contract compliance, and programmatic risk mitigation.

Verus Research engages multiple subcontractors across specialized technical domains. Fortis Strategic Consulting, LLC, a minority-owned, Asian-Pacific American-owned firm, provides project planning, deliverable compliance review, and risk assessment consulting. Improve Group, Inc. delivers architecture and engineering services for facility modernization. Additional subcontractors supply precision fabrication, radiation detection equipment, valve systems, connector cables, and component manufacturing supporting the systems integration and test mission.
