About this IDV
NASA's Glenn Research Center awarded a $32 million Blanket Purchase Agreement to The Bennu Group Inc., doing business as Ability Engineering Technology, effective October 17, 2018, through June 13, 2022. This multiple-award, non-set-aside fabrication BPA authorizes general fabrication work including welding, heat treating, milling, and related manufacturing services to support the center's research and development initiatives. The Bennu Group is a Black American-owned small disadvantaged business headquartered in South Holland, Illinois, specializing in precision cryogenic and vacuum equipment manufacturing, along with specialized engineering and testing services. As a civilian agency contract, the BPA leverages the contractor's established capabilities in complex fabrication and pressure testing across multiple federal departments.
Under this BPA vehicle, NASA Glenn Research Center issued three documented task orders between December 2018 and September 2021, totaling approximately $87.4 million in authorized work. These included fabrication of chamber piping components for the SHIIVER Project ($51.8K, awarded December 4, 2018), a plenum end cap assembly for Engineering Research Building 5 at Plum Brook Station ($22.9K, awarded April 22, 2019), and input bearing parts for the ARMD-RVLT E-Drive Rig SE-2 ($12.7K, awarded September 8, 2021). All task orders were executed on a total small business set-aside basis and performed at the contractor's South Holland, Illinois facility, with completion dates ranging from January to October 2021. These orders demonstrate the Bennu Group's sustained partnership with Glenn Research Center in delivering precision manufacturing support for advanced propulsion, thermal systems testing, and aeronautics research and development programs.
