The Research and Development in Advanced Aircraft Design Master IDIQ contract, issued by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), is focused on supporting cutting-edge aerospace research and technological development. The contract vehicle enables NASA to procure specialized research services related to advanced aircraft design, encompassing technical investigations, systems integration, and innovative engineering solutions. Task orders under this IDIQ demonstrate a focus on sophisticated aerospace engineering projects involving electronic systems, autonomous technologies, and advanced research methodologies.

The task orders reveal a pattern of cost-plus fixed fee delivery orders ranging from small-scale basic operational procedures to more substantial research initiatives, typically valued between $4,000 and $250,000. Prime contractors have included technical research institutions and defense technology firms such as BAE Systems Information & Electronic Systems Integration Inc. and Georgia Tech Applied Research Corporation (GTARC). The contract vehicle does not utilize specific small business set-asides, and task orders have performance locations including California (NASA Ames Research Center) and Georgia. Delivery orders have demonstrated short to medium project durations, generally spanning six to twelve months, with a common theme of advanced technological research and development in aircraft design and related electronic systems engineering.
