About this IDV

The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement valued at $9.0 million to Open X Education, Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business headquartered in Layton, Utah, effective September 1, 2021, through August 31, 2026. Titled "AFWERX Innovation Sherpas BPA - Open X," this indefinite delivery vehicle enables the Air Force Research Laboratory to procure software licenses, training platforms, and research and development support services without conducting competitive solicitations for individual task orders. Open X Education specializes in innovative online training platforms and digital skills development solutions leveraging Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer program authorities. The contract carries no set-aside designation and operates on a firm fixed-price basis, with primary performance locations in Dayton, Ohio, and secondary performance sites at various Air Force installations including facilities in Hawaii, Maine, North Dakota, and Missouri.

As of the information provided, the Air Force Research Laboratory has exercised twelve task orders under this BPA totaling approximately $8.17 million, representing approximately 91 percent of the contract ceiling. The largest task order, valued at $6.45 million and awarded August 14, 2025, provides access licensing to the Open X Training Portfolio with hosting, management, updates, and distribution of training content and software, including offline-capable standalone platforms. Additional task orders support specialized initiatives including deployable mobile training centers branded as Combat Labs ($449.5K), portable training environments and offline field training capabilities ($224.5K), engineering training kits for Project Arc engineers ($148.5K), the Enemy Assets Training Program ($225K), AFWERX Innovation Sherpa support ($250.1K and $59K), training software licenses for multiple Air Force installations ($125.4K, $40.28K, $25K, $25K, and $6K), and MTECH-ESSENTIUM training delivery through the Air National Guard ($25K). All task orders are structured as firm fixed-price awards with no set-aside designations except one small business set-aside for a $6,000 licensing agreement at Grand Forks Air Force Base.
