About this IDV
The Technical Operations V (TOPS V) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract is a multiple award vehicle issued by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) on September 23, 2016, with a ceiling value of $43.75 million and ultimate completion date of October 15, 2025. Bluehalo, LLC (formerly UES Inc.), a Beavercreek, Ohio-based science and technology company, was awarded this contract to provide advanced research, engineering, testing, and scientific services supporting AFRL's materials and manufacturing research and development initiatives. The contract utilizes a cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing structure with no small business set-aside designation, reflecting the contractor's established competitive position. Work is performed primarily at the contractor's headquarters in Beavercreek, Ohio, with the contract structured to enable flexible task order issuances across multiple technical domains including advanced materials characterization, aerospace technologies, digital manufacturing research, and photonic and plasmonic systems development.
The five task orders issued under TOPS V, valued between approximately $250,000 and $4.97 million, demonstrate the breadth of technical scope encompassing software and data engineering for materials and manufacturing (awarded June 2021), digital manufacturing research leveraging data-driven predictive modeling in partnership with Carnegie Mellon University (awarded February 2021), parafoil aerodynamics characterization (awarded September 2019), Integrated Computational Materials Science and Engineering infrastructure development with Harvard University participation (awarded April 2017), and photonic and plasmonic technology development for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance and Electronic Warfare applications with subcontractor support from Georgia Tech, Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Laboratories, and specialized technology firms (awarded September 2016). Collectively, these task orders represent AFRL's sustained investment in specialized research capabilities addressing critical defense technology requirements in materials science, advanced manufacturing, and emerging sensor technologies.
