Rockwell Collins, Inc., doing business as Collins Aerospace Military Avionics & Helicopters, was awarded a multiple award indefinite delivery contract by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Ames Research Center. The contract has a potential value of $39,950,000 over a five year base period ending in December 2026.
Under the contract, Collins Aerospace will provide engineering, research and development, systems analysis, modeling and simulation services to advance vertical lift technologies. This includes work on electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft and other rotorcraft supporting NASA programs. Task orders will include areas such as aerodynamics, structures, computational fluid dynamics, acoustics, and systems analysis. An initial $10,000 firm fixed price delivery order was awarded in December 2021 for an IT security management plan to be completed by January 2022.
The original solicitation sought proposals for rotorcraft vertical lift technology development services through a recompete of existing contracts. NASA aims to procure these services to support aeronautics and spaceflight research projects involving air traffic management and next generation air transportation systems. The scope and purpose of the contracted work is to develop vertical lift technologies critical to NASA's objectives.
