About this vehicle
The Air Force Research Laboratory awarded this Master IDIQ on January 20, 2025, for research, assessment, development, testing, evaluation, prototyping, demonstration, and transition of technologies supporting the processing, behavior characterization, and performance prediction of advanced aerospace materials, with ordering authority extending through January 20, 2033.
The vehicle carries a $97 million shared ceiling across up to four IDIQ contracts and operates unrestricted—no set-aside applied to the original solicitation or to awarded task orders. All five task orders awarded to date are unrestricted as well. The contract requires access up to Top Secret/SCI level, with primary performance at Air Force Research Laboratory facilities at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, and subordinate activities potentially at contractor or partner facilities.
Bluehalo LLC dominates the vehicle by potential value, holding two orders totaling $30 million of the $66 million combined task-order potential value. University of Dayton, University of Texas at Arlington, and Arctos Technology Solutions, LLC each hold one order, with values of $16 million, $12 million, and $8 million respectively. Five task orders were awarded on the same date (January 20, 2025), indicating initial task population all at vehicle establishment. All orders fund the Air Force Research Laboratory exclusively.
Task-order scope spans characterization of advanced composites, polymer matrix composites chemistry and simulation, physics-based modeling for advanced composites, advanced computing for composites, and performance of advanced multifunctional composites. Task-order ceilings range from $7,999,807 to $19,999,894, with performance periods typically extending 7 years from award. Obligated dollars total $8.6 million against $66 million potential value—13 percent—indicating early-stage funding posture. Most orders employ Cost Plus Fixed Fee pricing; one uses Cost No Fee. The vehicle has six years and six months of ordering authority remaining, with no additional task orders awarded after the January 2025 initial population.
