About this IDV
The U.S. Air Force awarded a $400 million multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract to Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation for Advanced Aerospace Systems Technology Research (AASTR), effective April 4, 2023, through April 4, 2028. This cost-plus-fixed-fee vehicle was awarded without set-aside designation, reflecting Northrop Grumman's competitive standing as a large business prime contractor. The AASTR contract provides the Air Force with flexible procurement mechanisms to support advanced aerospace research and technology development activities aligned with the service's modernization and innovation objectives. Performance is conducted at Northrop Grumman Aeronautics Systems' facility in El Segundo, California, leveraging the contractor's extensive capabilities in aerospace systems engineering, composite materials, and structural analysis.
Task orders issued under the AASTR vehicle demonstrate the contract's focus on specialized aerospace research and development. A $1.97 million delivery order awarded March 21, 2025, funds fatigue analysis of composite structures through March 21, 2028, supporting structural validation essential to aerospace vehicle development and certification. An earlier $97,035 delivery order from April 4, 2023, addressed general research and development requirements. Task order execution involves coordination with subcontractors providing complementary expertise, including Arizona State University for scientific and technical consulting, Bally Ribbon Mills for aircraft parts manufacturing, and Cytec Engineered Materials for advanced material formulation. This collaborative approach reflects the multidisciplinary nature of contemporary aerospace research, combining academic research capabilities with specialized manufacturing and materials science expertise.
