About this IDV

Written by GovTribe AI ·

Applied Research Associates, Inc. (ARA), a research and engineering firm headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, holds a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) under the NIST-AGYV program for Disaster and Failure Studies Support Services. Established August 30, 2012, with an ultimate completion date of March 3, 2018, this civilian agency contract carries a zero ceiling value designation, indicating funding through task order issuance rather than a fixed contract ceiling. The contract contains no set-aside restrictions and establishes a framework for ARA to provide on-demand technical and professional services supporting NIST's Engineering Laboratory (EL) mission in disaster resilience, community recovery, and building safety research. Performance locations include both ARA's primary facility in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and NIST locations in Gaithersburg, Maryland.

Over the contract period, NIST issued 34 delivery orders totaling approximately $9.3 million, reflecting a diverse portfolio of disaster resilience and hazard assessment work. Task orders encompassed tornado and hurricane hazard risk assessment methodology development, community resilience assessment frameworks, disaster resilience fellows program support, systems-based modeling services, windfield studies for emergency response (including Hurricane Irma, Hurricane Maria, and Tropical Storm Nate), and technical strategic planning and stakeholder engagement services. Pricing structures varied between firm fixed-price and labor-hour arrangements, with individual orders ranging from $15,525 to $954,771. This contract vehicle enabled NIST to access specialized engineering and research capabilities for developing updated building design standards, conducting post-disaster investigations, supporting the Community Resilience Assessment Methodology, and advancing the agency's infrastructure safety research agenda—work that directly supports improved building codes and enhanced community preparedness through technical analysis and standards development coordination.
