About this IDV
The National Science Foundation's Division of Polar Programs awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract to KBR Services, LLC on June 1, 2026, with an $8 billion ceiling and a completion date of May 31, 2046. The contract is not set-aside and supports Antarctic science and engineering operations.
The contract covers place of performance in Antarctica and related support locations. The scope encompasses comprehensive logistics, infrastructure maintenance, base operations support, and mission-critical services to enable long-term U.S. scientific research and operational presence in Antarctica. KBR Services will deliver facility maintenance, infrastructure repairs and upgrades, equipment support, construction services, supply and logistics coordination, and contingency life support operations necessary to sustain Antarctic research stations and scientific programs.
The period of performance extends from the June 1, 2026 award through May 31, 2046, providing a 20-year framework to support sustained Antarctic operations. The contract structure accommodates the logistics complexity and extended timelines inherent in polar science support, where resupply cycles are seasonal and infrastructure must withstand extreme environmental conditions.
KBR Services, a large contractor competing in the unrestricted federal marketplace, will execute delivery orders through this vehicle to respond to evolving Antarctic operational and scientific support requirements. The contract provides the National Science Foundation with a stable, long-term platform to procure diverse goods and services—from routine facility operations to specialized engineering work and equipment maintenance—across multiple Antarctic research stations and support facilities.
