Community And Regional Development R&D Services; Community Development; Experimental Development

The Product and Service Code (PSC) AB13 covers Community and Regional Development Research and Development (R&D) Services, with a specific focus on community development and experimental development work. This category encompasses innovative research projects aimed at addressing regional challenges, technological advancement, and community-oriented solutions. The services involve scientific exploration, prototype development, and experimental testing across various domains of community improvement and technological innovation.

The federal contract awards under PSC AB13 are predominantly Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) contracts, primarily from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Contract values range from approximately $25,500 to $999,992, with most awards falling between $150,000 and $1 million. The contracts typically have performance periods of 12-24 months and are almost exclusively set aside for small businesses. Frequently awarded entities include Lynntech Inc., Nanohmics Inc., TDA Research, Inc., and other small technology development companies. Research areas frequently include biosurveillance, threat detection technologies, chemical and biological sensing systems, and point-of-need diagnostic testing. Most research is performed in locations such as College Station, Texas; Austin, Texas; and Wheat Ridge, Colorado.

While the provided dataset does not include specific Federal Contract Opportunities for this PSC category, the existing contract awards suggest that future opportunities are likely to focus on innovative research projects in homeland security, biotechnology, and community development technologies. Potential solicitations would likely target small businesses with capabilities in developing advanced sensing technologies, diagnostic tools, and experimental solutions for regional and national security challenges.
