About this vehicle
The Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory established a Master IDIQ on March 7, 2012, to conduct research, development, demonstration, and integration of air and space vehicle structures technologies, with ordering authority that closed on March 5, 2017 — the vehicle is no longer active and has been succeeded by the Structures Engineering Research Program (awarded December 21, 2018).
Work under TRIAD focused on advanced aircraft structures, materials, and systems integration across cost, survivability, and performance objectives. Recent task orders addressed ceramic matrix composite fasteners and skins for hypersonic vehicles, composite damage prediction and characterization, multifunction structures development, canopy design and sustainment (F-22 and B-2 programs), and adaptive airframe technologies. All 20 awarded task orders were cost-plus-fixed-fee, unrestricted (no set-aside) competitive actions.
Competition concentrated heavily in two primes: University of Dayton held 15 of 20 orders with $17.2 million in combined potential value (66% of the vehicle), while Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. held the remaining 5 orders valued at $8.9 million (34%). Ordering momentum peaked in 2015 (6 orders) before declining; the most recent task order was awarded September 21, 2018, over seven years ago. All orders were placed by Air Force Research Laboratory, with no cross-agency customer base.
Combined task-order potential value totaled $26.1 million against a shared ceiling of $44.3 million; $24.9 million has been obligated (95% of combined potential). Individual task orders ranged from $100,000 to $6 million in ceiling value, with most clustering in the $400,000 to $2 million range. Cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing was standard across all orders, aligning with research-stage work. The vehicle's closure and succession to a new program means new work flows through the successor vehicle rather than here.
Description
The TRIAD Program will conduct basic, advanced, applied and demonstration/validation research to develop, demonstrate, integrate and transition new air and space vehicle structures technologies to the Warfighter. These technologies will provide cost effective, survivable air and space vehicle platforms capable of accurate delivery of weapons and cargo worldwide.
