About this IDV

NASA Ames Research Center awarded a single-award indefinite-delivery contract to Analytical Mechanics Associates, Inc., a small business, on April 1, 2025, with a ceiling value of $88,905,272 under a Total Small Business set-aside. The contract is titled Aircraft and Spaceflight Systems Engineering Support Services (ASSESS) and runs through March 31, 2030.

Work is performed at Moffett Federal Airfield, Mountain View, California. The IDIQ procures research, engineering, and science services across full technology readiness levels in support of exploration technology and aeronautics, including computational fluid dynamics analysis, thermal protection systems development, aeromechanics and structural dynamics analysis, systems engineering, and IT infrastructure management for division computational systems.

Delivery orders issued under ASSESS since award span aeronautics project support (airspace research for remotely supervised and automated operations, urban air mobility and eVTOL integration, wind tunnel facility assessments, OpenVSP enhancements, drone detection capabilities, and emergency response aviation concepts); computational fluid dynamics development for advanced supercomputing computational aerosciences and physics applications (tiltwing and tilt-duct vehicle concepts, rotorcraft configurations, hypersonic flow environments, and Dragonfly rotorcraft lander simulations); thermal protection systems work including arcjet data post-processing tools, materials fabrication support, and entry, descent, and landing applications for Dragonfly; aeromechanics and structural dynamics analysis for rotorcraft and Helios projects; unmanned traffic management coordination and transition planning; and the Wildfire, Ecosystem Resilience, and Risk Assessment Initiative systems engineering. All orders carry cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing under Total Small Business set-asides. Subcontractors include CFD Research Corporation, Advanced Rotorcraft Technology, Inc., Astrion Group, and Neerim Corporation.
