The NOVASTAR (National Air and Space Intelligence Center Science and Technical Intelligence Analytic Capability Support Contract) is an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle designed to provide comprehensive scientific and technical intelligence analysis support to the National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC). The contract supports research, development, and sustainment of hardware, systems, and software capabilities that enable scientific and technical intelligence production for the United States Air Force, Department of Defense, and national-level intelligence efforts. The primary objective is to support technical intelligence production through collection, analysis, planning, processing, dissemination, archiving, and associated activities, with a specific focus on discovering and characterizing air, space, missile, forces, and cyber threats.

Task orders under the NOVASTAR contract typically range from approximately $750,000 to $23,045,338, with performance periods generally spanning one to five years. The most frequent prime contractors include Radiance Technologies Inc., Altamira Technologies Corp, Modern Technology Solutions, Inc. (MTSI), Epsilon C5I Inc., and Xandar LLC. While the contract is designated as a small business set-aside, many individual task orders do not utilize a specific set-aside designation. The majority of work is performed at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio, with some tasks extending to locations in Virginia. Common task order scopes include geospatial intelligence analysis, measurement and signatures intelligence, signals intelligence, technical intelligence analysis, research and development of analytic tools, sensor characterization, and support for various mission-critical intelligence production activities supporting air, space, and cyber threat assessment.
