The key details of this federal contract IDV are as follows:
The Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory awarded a single-award $48 million Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Stellar Science LTD. CO., a small, veteran-owned limited liability company based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The contract supports the Advanced Framework for Simulation, Integration and Modeling (AFSIM) program, which aims to advance research through physics-based simulation and custom scientific/engineering software development. Under this IDC, Stellar Science has received delivery orders for initiatives such as "FOUNDATION I (REBASE)," "FOUNDATION & EXPANSION II," and "REDEFINING THE BASIC ANALYTICAL AND SIMULATION ENVIRONMENT (REBASE) FOUNDATION AND EXPANSION III," which involve developing and sustaining analytic tools, techniques, and knowledge databases for scientific and technical intelligence analysis. Stellar Science also holds a $10 million software maintenance contract with NASA Ames Research Center as a separate IDV. These IDVs allow Stellar Science to apply its specialized capabilities to support the technological objectives of key federal research agencies in areas such as multi-domain modeling and simulation, physics-based analysis, and scientific software development.
The original solicitation was a Special Notice from the Air Force Research Laboratory requesting industry input to inform the acquisition strategy for the REBASE program. The notice indicated plans to use a multi-award IDIQ contract with short-duration task orders to expand industry participation in advancing the AFSIM framework and rapidly delivering capabilities. The Government sought feedback on issues like coordination among performers, backlog management, traceability of task order requirements, use of common infrastructure, and teaming arrangements.
