About this IDV
Applied Research Associates, Inc. (ARA) was awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) under the Research Engineering and Technical Services (RETS) master IDIQ vehicle. The contract, designated for Total Small Business set-aside, carries a ceiling value of $916 million with an ultimate completion date of November 19, 2025, and was originally awarded on November 19, 2020. The contract procures research, development, test, evaluation (RDT&E), and engineering technical support services to advance defense modernization priorities including artificial intelligence, autonomy, biotechnology, cyber operations, and hypersonics. Work is performed at contractor facilities and government locations in the Washington D.C. area, with security clearance requirements up to Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) level. The solicitation sought capabilities encompassing hardware and software design and testing, prototyping, modeling and simulation, systems engineering, system integration, operations research, research and technology development, science and technology roadmapping, and executive support functions.
Two significant task orders have been issued under this master IDIQ: a $21.08 million delivery order awarded August 1, 2022, for major program support services and mission prototype program support with performance through July 31, 2027, performed in Alexandria, Virginia; and a $40.41 million delivery order awarded May 13, 2022, supporting the Capability Prototypes/Rapid Reaction Technology Office with operations support, prototyping and experimentation, systems engineering, and technical analysis support through May 12, 2027, performed in Falls Church, Virginia. Both task orders utilize firm fixed-price contracting and were awarded through full and open competition without set-aside designations. ARA executes these efforts with a substantial subcontracting team including women-owned small businesses (Azimuth Corporation, Bryce Space and Technology LLC), Analytic Services Inc., and General Dynamics Information Technology, ensuring access to specialized technical expertise and complementary capabilities required to support OSD's advanced systems development and research missions.
