About this IDV
The U.S. Air Force Academy awarded a single-award Blanket Purchase Agreement valued at $1.5 million to Solaero Technologies Corp. for the procurement of space-rated Coverglass-Interconnected-Cells (CICs) required to construct flight-ready solar arrays for future spacecraft. This indefinite delivery vehicle, effective from September 14, 2024, through September 13, 2029, carries no set-aside designation and leverages Solaero's established expertise as a domestic aerospace solar technology manufacturer headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The BPA supports the Air Force Academy's strategic objective to maintain reliable domestic supply of advanced satellite solar cells and panels while mitigating supply chain vulnerabilities. CICs represent specialized solar cell components engineered to rigorous aerospace industry standards and are critical components for space vehicle power systems.
Two task orders have been executed under this BPA to date, collectively obligating approximately $241,180 against the $1.5 million ceiling. The initial task order, awarded September 26, 2024, valued at $171,580 on a firm fixed-price basis with completion by May 2, 2025, was followed by a second task order awarded September 30, 2025, valued at $69,600 with a December 29, 2025 completion date. Both task orders specify performance in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and maintain firm fixed-price pricing structures. Approximately $1.26 million in contract capacity remains available for future task orders through the BPA's September 2029 expiration, positioning the Air Force Academy to satisfy emerging requirements for space-qualified solar array components across its spacecraft development initiatives.
