The CNA Corporation, a non-profit federally funded research and development center (FFRDC) for the Department of the Navy, holds a $1.2 billion single-award indefinite delivery contract with the Navy to provide a wide range of research, engineering, and analytical support services across the Department of Defense and federal government through December 2027. Under this IDIQ, CNA has received numerous delivery order contracts, valued at over $15 million, to deliver research and advisory services in areas such as capabilities assessments, readiness analysis, modeling and simulation, policy development, strategic planning, and acquisition support. The services are primarily performed from CNA's offices in Arlington, Virginia using cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing. Key task orders include projects supporting the Navy, Marine Corps, and Office of the Secretary of Defense on topics like marine mammal impact analysis, counter-missile defense, performance-to-plan evaluations, cyber force mission alignment, and the development of AI-enabled system standards.
CNA's FFRDC status enables it to provide independent, authoritative studies and technical support to the Department of Defense and federal government. As the prime contractor, CNA frequently partners with universities, research institutions, and other defense contractors to deliver these services. The contracts are not set aside and are issued by defense agencies like the Office of Naval Research, Naval Sea Systems Command, and Marine Corps. The delivery orders support a diverse range of national security and defense priorities, leveraging CNA's specialized expertise in areas critical to the military and broader federal government.
