About this IDV

Written by GovTribe AI ·

Applied Research Associates, Inc. (ARA) was awarded a single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract by the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM) on May 5, 2015, with a ceiling value of $49.94 million and ultimate completion date of May 4, 2020. The contract, titled PS-ISR Concept Research & Development with a modification to update contract administration to Persistent Surveillance - Intelligence, Surveillance, & Reconnaissance (PS-ISR) Concept Development, establishes a framework for indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity procurement with no set-aside designation. The contract vehicle enables RDECOM to issue delivery orders for research, development, concept exploration, and demonstration activities supporting the Army's advanced technology initiatives. ARA, a for-profit research and engineering firm headquartered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serves as the prime contractor responsible for delivering technical solutions across defense mission areas.

Two delivery orders were issued under this contract vehicle. The first, awarded September 30, 2016, with a ceiling value of $1.51 million and completion date of September 30, 2021, focused on PS-ISR Concept High Energy Laser Weapon Systems development and demonstration performed in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This cost-plus-fixed-fee award included a modification to implement an Advanced Crystalline Core Crystalline Cladding (C4) growth plan, with subcontracted support from General Opto Solutions LLC for optical fiber development, the University of Arizona for modeling and analysis, and Ram Photonics LLC for fiber laser modeling. The second delivery order, awarded June 9, 2015, with a minimal ceiling value of $2,500 and completion date of May 4, 2020, covered PS-ISR Concept Research & Development consideration work performed in Hyattsville, Maryland, and was structured as a cost-plus-fixed-fee arrangement. Both delivery orders operated under non-competitive single-award parameters without set-aside provisions.
