About this IDV
Applied Research Associates, Inc. (ARA), a for-profit Subchapter S corporation headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract by the Army Combat Capability Development Command (ACC) Aberdeen Proving Ground on July 3, 2017, with a ceiling value of $49.5 million and ultimate completion date of April 12, 2022. This contract vehicle supports the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program Phase III, which focuses on commercialization and advanced development of innovations previously developed through earlier SBIR phases. The contract operates under cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing with no set-aside designation and authorizes ARA to deliver research, engineering, testing, modeling, simulation, software development, and specialized technical consulting services from its Albuquerque, New Mexico location. The indefinite delivery structure enables the government to issue multiple task orders for services across various technical domains supporting Army modernization, research, and development objectives.
The contract generated ten delivery orders totaling approximately $39.1 million across the contract period, spanning diverse technical areas including testing and modeling simulation training, research and development, and specialized technical support. Task orders addressed requirements from multiple Army commands, including the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM), Army Materiel Command, Army Research Office, Army Test and Evaluation Command, and Army Forces Command, as well as Department of Defense Washington Headquarters Service. Work performed under the task orders encompassed canine vision and cognition requirements, additive manufacturing, chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosives (CBRNE) qualification, artificial intelligence and machine learning applications, and industrial process environment simulation. ARA engaged numerous subcontractors including academic institutions (Clemson University, North Carolina State University), small disadvantaged businesses (Command Sight Inc.), and specialized technical firms (Southwest Research Institute, Oak Ridge National Laboratory), demonstrating a collaborative approach to executing complex research and development initiatives while supporting the government's objective to transition promising SBIR innovations into operational military capabilities.
