The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Langley Research Center has awarded a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to Advanced Technologies, Inc. (ATI), a small business contractor, to provide design, fabrication, and development support for aerospace model systems and developmental test hardware. This $14 million, 5-year IDIQ contract, known as Reliance Consolidated Models IV (RECOM IV), consolidates these services across multiple NASA research centers to support spaceflight, space exploration, and aeronautics research initiatives.

Under the RECOM IV IDIQ, ATI has been awarded several delivery orders to design, analyze, and fabricate a variety of aerospace models and hardware, including wind tunnel models, rotorcraft testbeds, composite rotor blades, and components for advanced entry systems. These orders, valued up to $2.2 million each, have been set aside for total small business participation. The work is performed at ATI's facility in Newport News, Virginia and supports testing at NASA Langley's wind tunnels and specialized research laboratories.

"" reliance consolidated models (recom) design and/or fabrication support. This support is a consolidation of design and fabrication efforts for aerospace model systems and developmental test hardware used for spaceflight, space exploration, flight and ground-based tests supporting ames research center, glenn research center, langley research center, and marshall space flight center. These precision experimental research models and hardware may consist of both mechanical and electrical/electronic hardware elements. The mechanical hardware elements include, but are not limited to, wind tunnel models (including, but not limited to, force/pressure, propulsion simulation, dynamically scaled, and free flight), rotorcraft models, drop models, model components, model support systems, test equipment, turbomachinery models (including, but not limited to, air turbine models, water flow pump models) aircraft flight test hardware, space flight hardware, large welded/formed structural components used in the development and validation of space flight systems, force measurement equipment (including multi-component wind tunnel balances), and structural test articles and instrumentation/devices to measure force, moment, acceleration, attitude, pressure strain and temperature. These research models and hardware may be utilized for various facilities such as NASA wind tunnels, air/water flow turbine/pump facilities, aircraft, spacecraft, and other existing and future laboratory environments. The contractor shall work from delivery orders (DOS) that will include drawings, and specifications describing in detail all work required to satisfactorily complete each order. The contractor shall, in response to the delivery order, furnish personnel, equipment, materials, and facilities necessary to perform any or all of the following: conceptual design, feasibility design studies, preliminary and detailed engineering design, stress analysis, fabrication, development and advancement of emerging technologies, instrumentation and calibration, testing, inspection, assembly, installation and check-out, packaging and transportation of aerospace model systems and developmental hardware. The contractor shall meet all requirements in the performance work statement (PWS), particularly the requirements of LPR 1710.15, wind-tunnel model systems criteria.
