About this IDV

This indefinite delivery contract is a single-award IDIQ vehicle awarded by the U.S. Air Force to The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory LLC (APL), a university-affiliated research center (UARC). The $95 million ceiling contract provides analysis, research and development, and systems engineering services focused on space science and engineering.

Specifically, the contract covers APL's core competencies in the design, development, and prototyping of space systems and instruments, as well as the conduct of critical space experiments, analysis and evaluation of space systems and data, and R&D of systems for space-based precision tracking, remote sensing, communications, and situational awareness. This sole-source award to APL was justified due to the laboratory's unique expertise as the only DoD UARC capable of providing these specialized space-related technical services. The contract has an ultimate completion date of July 1, 2030 and will be coordinated with the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) as the primary sponsor.
