About this IDV

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Nanoelectronic Materials Optimization (NEMO) Indefinite Delivery Contract is a single-award, cost-plus-fixed-fee vehicle awarded by the Air Force Research Laboratory to Bluehalo, LLC (formerly UES Inc.) on September 8, 2016, with an ultimate completion date of June 7, 2022, and a ceiling value of $42,000,000. The contract, issued without small business set-aside designation, is performed at Bluehalo's primary facility in Beavercreek, Ohio. Under this IDV, the Air Force Research Laboratory procures advanced research and development services focused on next-generation nanoelectronic, photonic, optoelectronic, and quantum materials and processes to support intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) and radio frequency (RF) electronic device technologies for defense applications.

Five delivery orders have been issued against the NEMO IDV, collectively valued at approximately $38.9 million and addressing specialized materials research requirements. These task orders encompass quantum semiconductor and magnetic materials and processes ($6.5 million, completed December 26, 2019); integrated photonics and optoelectronics research ($8.5 million, completed June 7, 2023); advancing materials and processes for RF electronic devices ($10.0 million, completed September 30, 2024); photonic and opto-electronic materials development including synthetic aperture radar image quality analysis ($4.0 million, completed December 31, 2024); and next-generation photonic, optoelectronic, and quantum materials for advanced ISR technologies ($9.9 million, completed December 31, 2024). Bluehalo executes these research initiatives through subcontracting relationships with academic institutions including the University of Dayton Research Institute, Purdue University, and the University of Central Florida, as well as specialized equipment and technology suppliers such as Thorlabs, Keysight Technologies, Northrop Grumman Aerospace Systems, and Raytheon.
