The Department of the Navy's Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) and Naval Air Warfare Center have awarded Global Engineering & Materials Inc. (GEM), a small business subchapter S corporation, a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) to provide research and development services under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase III. This BOA allows NAVAIR to issue task orders to GEM for continued work on innovations developed through prior SBIR Phase I and II efforts, with the goal of facilitating the transition and commercialization of these technologies to support NAVAIR's naval aviation systems and aircraft development programs.
The task orders awarded under this BOA, valued at up to $770,000, are for cost-plus-fixed-fee R&D efforts, some of which are designated for total small business participation. The work is primarily performed in Princeton, New Jersey and includes deliverables such as coupled infusion-cure modeling simulation, multiscale modeling, and Federal Wide Assurance certification. This BOA has an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity structure and a period of performance through January 2027, enabling GEM to continue providing NAVAIR with its proven SBIR-funded innovations and associated support services.
