About this IDV

Written by GovTribe AI ·

Tethers Unlimited, Inc. was awarded an Other Transaction Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (OT IDV) agreement valued at $10.6 million by the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), a component of the Office of the Secretary of Defense, on September 24, 2021. This award was not set aside for small businesses, despite Tethers Unlimited qualifying as a small business entity. The Base Agreement for Modularity for Space Systems (M4SS) establishes a framework under which the Air Force Research Laboratory will issue task orders for the development and demonstration of modular spacecraft technologies. The agreement also includes provisions for updating the Agreements Officer Representative and Agreements Officer on the Other Transaction arrangement to ensure proper oversight and administration throughout the contract's performance period.

Under the M4SS IDV, Tethers Unlimited will deliver modular avionics systems, spacecraft structures, power systems, and reconfigurable payload technologies designed to support rapid prototyping and demonstration efforts for the Department of Defense. The contracted deliverables are intended to validate modular spacecraft concepts and support the Air Force Research Laboratory's objective of accelerating the development of flexible, reconfigurable space systems. Task orders issued under this agreement will define specific hardware deliverables and demonstration requirements, leveraging Tethers Unlimited's existing expertise in advanced propulsion, power, communications, and robotics technologies for space applications developed through prior contracts with NASA, the Department of Defense, and other federal agencies.
