This firm fixed-price purchase order, awarded on May 2, 2024, with completion targeted for February 2, 2026, supports STTR Phase II Proposal F2-17330 focused on mission assurance for autonomy and reinforcement learning. The set-aside designation for small businesses reflects the Department of Defense's commitment to leveraging innovative technological solutions from smaller enterprises. Edge Case Research Inc. brings substantial relevant experience to this effort, having previously secured multiple SBIR and STTR awards from the Air Force Research Laboratory, Naval Air Warfare Center, and other defense agencies, with demonstrated expertise in safety case development, validation and verification services, and edge case testing for complex autonomous and AI-enabled systems.
Beyond this prime contract, Edge Case Research Inc. maintains significant standing as a trusted federal contractor through multiple high-value indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity vehicles, including a $4 billion SeaPort-NxG contract with Naval Sea Systems Command and a $15 million Blanket Purchase Agreement with the Department of Defense's Joint Artificial Intelligence Center. These vehicles position the company to support broader Air Force Research Laboratory initiatives in autonomous systems assurance and artificial intelligence safety across the defense and aerospace sectors.
