About this IDV
NASA's Glenn Research Center awarded an indefinite-delivery contract to Wichita State University for $15 million on September 16, 2024. This is a single-award IDIQ with no set-aside designation, extending through September 16, 2029.
The contract procures development of databases of refractory composite materials — silicon carbide-silicon carbide, carbon-carbon, and carbon-silicon carbide — to support validation of flight structures for hypersonic flight. Work encompasses mechanical testing of high-temperature materials up to 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit, refractory composite instrumentation, precision machining, design allowables analysis, automated fiber placement, and x-ray computed tomography. Performance occurs at Wichita State University's facilities in Wichita, Kansas, leveraging the university's National Institute for Aviation Research.
The originating pre-solicitation, posted March 14, 2024, indicated NASA's intent to conduct a sole-source award to Wichita State University, citing the university's National Institute for Aviation Research as the only entity capable of meeting the agency's requirements, though the notice invited third-party submissions for full and open competition evaluation.
A delivery order issued under this IDIQ on September 16, 2024, awarded $1.75 million to Wichita State University under cost-no-fee pricing. This delivery order extends through September 16, 2026, and covers the same scope of refractory composite characterization and testing at the Wichita facility.
