Indefinite Delivery Contract 80ARC022DA004

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Ames Research Center awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, operating as the Office of Sponsored Programs, for rotorcraft vertical lift technology development services. The $39.95 million contract has a five-year base period through December 2026 and enables NASA to issue firm-fixed price and cost-reimbursement task orders for engineering, research and development, systems analysis, and modeling and simulation of technologies for electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft and other rotorcraft.

The initial $10,000 task order requires Georgia Tech to provide an IT security management plan to support NASA's information systems security requirements over a one-month period in Atlanta, Georgia. The overall contract recompetes NASA's existing Rotorcraft Wing Technology Development contracts and seeks to advance a wide range of rotorcraft capabilities like productivity, range, speed, safety, and environmental compatibility. The solicitation was issued under a full and open competition with small business subcontracting goals, but no set-aside designation. Georgia Tech, as a non-profit research organization and state institution of higher education, can leverage its extensive expertise in areas like aerodynamics, structures, and control systems to support NASA's aeronautics and space exploration initiatives through this flexible IDIQ vehicle.
