About this IDV

Written by GovTribe AI ·

Applied Research Associates, Inc. (ARA), headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, received a single-award Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract valued at $49.999 million from the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command for Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase III engineering analysis and support services. The contract, awarded June 6, 2023, with an ultimate completion date of January 23, 2026, carries no set-aside designation and establishes a framework for the Army to issue delivery orders for specialized technical services. The SBIR Phase III vehicle represents a commercialization and advanced development phase, enabling ARA to leverage prior SBIR Phase I and Phase II research outcomes into practical defense applications. This IDV provides flexible procurement authority for the Army to task ARA with engineering analysis, advanced research, modeling and simulation, software development, test and evaluation, and technical consulting services across defense mission areas without requiring competitive repricing for each individual task order.

Six delivery orders totaling approximately $40.0 million have been issued under this IDIQ vehicle, addressing critical Army and Department of Defense priorities including novel munitions development using reactive alloy structures ($17.4 million), physical security enterprise analysis and program execution support ($5.7 million), research and development support to the Office of the Provost Marshal General Physical Security Division ($8.6 million), chemical agent resistant coating support ($3.5 million), biosensor research and engineering development ($3.0 million), and NORAD and U.S. Northern Command Deputy Operations Manager support for Defense Innovation Acceleration ($1.85 million). All delivery orders employ cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing structures and are performed at ARA's Albuquerque, New Mexico facility. The task orders reflect ARA's capability to assemble specialized subcontractor teams including academic institutions, national laboratories, and specialized technical vendors to deliver integrated solutions for advanced materials development, physical security research, sensor technology, coating systems, and operational support services essential to Department of Defense research and engineering objectives.
