The Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) with ID FA870215D0002 is a single-award contract awarded by the U.S. Air Force Electronic Systems Center (ESC) to Carnegie Mellon University's Software Engineering Institute (SEI), a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC). The contract, valued at over $6.4 billion, supports the SEI's research, prototype development, and technical assistance relating to software engineering and cybersecurity for various defense programs.
The SEI has received over $875 million in similar delivery order contracts from the ESC to conduct R&D and provide specialized software engineering expertise to the Department of Defense. In addition to its defense-focused work, Carnegie Mellon University also holds federal grants and subcontracts across a range of research areas, including neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and materials science, demonstrating its broad expertise and collaboration with other institutions. The contracts and task orders issued under this IDC do not utilize any set-aside designations, allowing the government to flexibly access the university's capabilities as needed to support evolving defense requirements.
