About this IDV
The Air Force Research Laboratory established a single-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with Carestarter Technologies Inc., a self-certified small disadvantaged business based in Cedar Creek, Texas, to support digital ethnography research and development activities under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase III. The IDIQ, awarded on July 1, 2023, carries a ceiling value of $5,000,000 and extends through July 1, 2028, with a total small business set-aside designation. Under this vehicle, Carestarter Technologies delivers comprehensive digital ethnographic research services that leverage digital data analysis and human interaction research to enhance operational capabilities for defense agencies. The contract work is performed at the contractor's Cedar Creek, Texas facility and reflects the Air Force Research Laboratory's commitment to leveraging small business innovation for specialized research and development capabilities.
To date, three delivery orders have been issued under this IDIQ totaling $1,304,977, representing approximately 26 percent of the contract ceiling. The first task order, valued at $300,000 and awarded on June 20, 2023, initiated the digital ethnography effort through July 19, 2024. A subsequent $375,000 delivery order from the Office of the Secretary of Defense, awarded March 29, 2024, continued the SBIR Phase III digital ethnography effort through June 29, 2024. The most recent task order, valued at $629,977 and awarded September 6, 2024, encompasses a comprehensive digital ethnographic study, training material development, and implementation activities to transition operational capabilities from the AFWERX SPARK Refinery program, with completion anticipated by February 10, 2025. All delivery orders employ firm-fixed price pricing and carry no set-aside designations, allowing the Air Force to procure specialized digital ethnography research services on a task order basis as requirements emerge.
