This federal Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) was awarded by the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) at Hill AFB to Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), a prominent nonprofit research and development organization. The $250,000,000 IDC has an ultimate completion date of May 21, 2032 and supports engineering and research activities related to the degradation of systems and materials due to operational use, often referred to as aging. SwRI will perform tasks such as materials research, loads and environments analysis, stress analysis and testing, damage tolerance analysis, durability analysis and testing, corrosion assessment, vibration analysis, design development tests, and risk analysis in support of the Center for Aircraft Structural Life Extension (CAStLE) at the U.S. Air Force Academy. Under this IDC, SwRI was issued a $200,000 firm-fixed-price delivery order for FY25 A-10 Aircraft Structural Integrity Program (ASIP) support, with a completion date of September 25, 2026. The original solicitation was a sources sought notice for engineering and research support services for CAStLE, with responses due by January 5, 2024. There were no set-aside designations for this requirement, which primarily falls under NAICS code 541715 for research and development services.
