The contract scope encompasses research and development in the physical, engineering, and life sciences, excluding biotechnology, with no small business set-aside designation applied. The contract was structured as an IDV with a ceiling value of $0.00, indicating that specific funding amounts were determined through individual task orders issued against the vehicle rather than a pre-established contract ceiling.

Under this IDV, a delivery order was issued on June 2, 2009, with an ultimate completion date of January 15, 2010, valued at $496,647.00 and priced on a cost-plus-fixed-fee basis. This task order, also funded by the Office of Naval Research, directed performance in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, and fell under the government categories of other defense (basic) and research and development in physical and engineering disciplines. The delivery order structure and cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing mechanism indicate that the contractor provided specialized engineering services and technical support requiring flexible pricing adjustments based on actual costs incurred, typical of research and development work supporting naval technology advancement and system evaluation initiatives.
