About this IDV
The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract valued at $46.794 million to the University of Dayton Research Institute Division on April 26, 2019, for the Proactive Research Enabling Supportable Systems (PRESS) program, with performance through April 26, 2026. This cost-plus-fixed-fee vehicle, issued without set-aside designation, supports research and development of materials, processes, and technologies designed to improve maintainability and reduce sustainment costs for the Air Force stealth bomber fleet. The contract was competitively awarded through a Broad Agency Announcement posted in October 2018, with proposals evaluated on technical approach, transition potential, and cost realism. Individual task orders issued under this indefinite delivery vehicle carry ceiling values up to $10 million over periods not to exceed 27 months, with all work performed at the University of Dayton's facility in Dayton, Ohio.
Through the contract period, the Air Force Research Laboratory issued multiple delivery orders totaling approximately $41.2 million across eleven task orders, addressing low-observable technology development, high-temperature material test standardization, abrasion-resistant coating systems, and related sustainment technologies. Notable delivery orders include $9.36 million (awarded December 2019), $8.7 million (awarded January 2020), $6.65 million (awarded November 2023), and $5.0 million (awarded May 2026) task orders, each structured as cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts. The University of Dayton Research Institute executed this work through collaborative subcontracting arrangements with major aerospace and defense contractors including Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, General Electric Aviation, and The Nordam Group LLC, as well as specialized materials firms such as Nanosperse LLC and Arc Technologies LLC. This contract vehicle demonstrates the Research Institute's sophisticated capability to conduct federally funded research and development across multiple disciplines critical to Air Force modernization and sustainment priorities.
