The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) awarded a $72 million indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract to MRL Materials Resources LLC, doing business as MRL, for research on alloy and metallic material selection, screening, discovery, and design. MRL is a for-profit limited liability company specializing in microstructure data science for advanced manufacturing, with experience providing R&D, testing, and engineering services related to metallic materials and manufacturing techniques for the Department of Defense. Under this IDIQ, AFRL has issued three firm-fixed-price delivery orders to MRL totaling $34 million to date. The delivery orders cover collaborative and exploratory metallic materials research, metallic materials processing and testing, and early applied research on alloys and processing. This work aims to develop and transition new or improved metallic materials for aerospace applications in areas such as propulsion, airframe, sustainment, and space. The IDIQ contract has a five-year period of performance, with the delivery orders having completion dates in 2024, 2027, and 2027 respectively. There are no set-asides designated for this contract.
