Product Service Code AB22 encompasses community and regional development research and development (R&D) services, with a focus on applied research related to area and regional development. These services typically involve specialized research projects that support governmental understanding and advancement of regional infrastructure, development strategies, and community-focused initiatives. The work spans multiple domains, including engineering, social sciences, and technical analysis aimed at solving complex regional challenges.

The federal contract awards under this PSC category demonstrate a diverse range of research and development services, predominantly awarded to academic institutions and engineering consulting firms. Notable awardees include Texas A&M University-Central Texas, Jensen Hughes Inc., and Oregon Health & Science University, with contract values ranging from approximately $40,000 to $5.2 million. The primary funding agencies are Department of Defense entities such as the Office of Naval Research, Army Test and Evaluation Command, and Department of Veterans Affairs. Most contracts are firm fixed-price delivery orders or definitive contracts with performance periods spanning 1-5 years. No set-aside designations were used in these awards, indicating open competition.

The federal contract opportunities posted reflect research and development support services, particularly for military history and technical research domains. Two opportunities from the Army Contracting Command seek sole-source contractors (Dr. Meghan A. Vance and Dr. Susan B. Long) to provide Center of Military History support services. These opportunities involve archival research, writing historical monographs, conducting oral histories, preparing information papers for senior leaders, and supporting commemorative programs. The place of performance is primarily Washington, DC, with a typical contract duration of 12 months and a focus on specialized historical and research support for military organizations.
