About this award
The U.S. Army awarded The RAND Corporation a $38.1M delivery order on October 1, 2024, for RAND FY25 Core Studies, a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) core project portfolio. The contract operates under a cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing structure with no small business set-aside designation and extends through September 30, 2026. RAND Corporation, a nonprofit policy think tank headquartered in Santa Monica, California, will perform the research and analytical work at its Santa Monica location. The funding originates from the Army's Office of the Chief of Staff, reflecting the Department of Defense's reliance on RAND's multidisciplinary research capabilities to support strategic planning and policy analysis.
The RAND Corporation's FFRDC core studies support the Army's mission by providing evidence-based analysis on complex national security and defense policy challenges. RAND maintains significant research relationships with federal agencies and frequently collaborates with academic institutions and specialized contractors to enhance research depth and methodological rigor. This core project award represents part of the Army's broader investment in independent research and development capabilities, enabling rapid access to RAND's expertise in defense strategy, security policy analysis, and emerging technology assessment. The cost-plus-fixed-fee structure allows for flexibility in project execution while maintaining defined fee arrangements, typical of government research partnerships with FFRDCs.
