The Military Support Division Support 2015-2020 is a Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle awarded by the Naval Research Laboratory that focuses on engineering and technical support for specialized design, fabrication, installation, operation, removal, disposal, and maintenance of unique research systems associated with VXS-1 airborne research laboratories. The contract vehicle enables rapid aircraft modification services, including sensor integration, system installations, and technical analysis for advanced research platforms. Task orders under this vehicle cover a wide range of sophisticated engineering services primarily supporting naval aviation research and development initiatives.

Platform Systems, Incorporated emerged as the primary contractor, winning multiple delivery orders ranging from $15,000 to nearly $900,000 in value, typically with firm-fixed-price or cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing structures. The task orders consistently involve complex aircraft modification work, such as installing intercommunication systems, integrating research sensors, performing structural analyses, and supporting projects for agencies like the Office of Naval Research and NASA. While no specific set-aside was consistently applied, Platform Systems is a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business that demonstrates expertise in aircraft modification and research support. Most work was performed in Maryland locations like Lexington Park, with project completion dates typically ranging from six months to two years. The contract vehicle supports a broad spectrum of technical services for naval and research aircraft, emphasizing rapid, specialized engineering solutions.
