Purchase Order N0001424P1501

The Department of the Navy's Office of Naval Research (ONR) awarded a $140,000.00 firm-fixed-price purchase order to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) to extend development of recent axial compressor damage research. The contract builds on prior work led by the principal investigator and will accommodate upcoming data from the Navy's T700 engine research at the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAVAIR-PAX). This is not a set-aside contract. As a prime contractor to federal agencies, Penn State provides a range of research, engineering, and technical services in areas like defense, space, and STEM education. For example, the university holds an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to supply electronic-grade diamond substrates.
