About this IDV
The National Institute of Standards and Technology awarded an indefinite-delivery contract to Applied Research Associates, Inc. with a $9,800,000 ceiling on April 14, 2025. This is a multiple-award vehicle with ultimate completion on April 13, 2030.
The contract supports Disaster and Failure Studies (DFS) support services across a five-year period of performance. The originating solicitation (posted October 9, 2024, proposals due November 15, 2024) contemplated a primary disaster and failure studies category open to all business sizes, plus three distinct small business set-aside categories focused on earthquake studies, evidence preservation, and fire disaster and failure studies support; however, this particular award carries no set-aside designation. Work is performed within the United States. Individual task orders carry a $2 million ceiling.
The primary and earthquake and fire disaster studies categories are NAICS 541330 (engineering services), size standard $25.5 million; the evidence preservation category is NAICS 493190 (warehousing and storage), size standard $36.5 million. Applied Research Associates, Inc. is a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The contract includes on-ramp and off-ramp procedures to adjust the number of contractors over time. Evaluation was conducted in two phases, assessing demonstrated prior experience and mock task orders and IDIQ management approach; price was evaluated for fairness and reasonableness but was not a ranked factor.
