The Product Service Code (PSC) AB24 covers Community and Regional Development Research and Development (R&D) Services, focusing on area and regional development along with administrative expenses related to R&D initiatives. This category encompasses technical and engineering services that support specialized research, systems development, and strategic modernization efforts for government agencies. The services primarily involve advanced technical support, scientific research, and specialized engineering solutions for complex governmental projects.

The federal contract awards under this PSC category are exclusively from the U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM), with all contracts being cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery orders. The awards range from approximately $444,000 to $2.57 million, typically with performance periods extending 12-18 months and completion dates through late 2024 or early 2025. Frequently awarded entities include The Keyw Corporation (a Jacobs Engineering Group subsidiary), Amaratek, and Southwest Research Institute, all of which provide specialized technical, engineering, and scientific services. These contracts support diverse efforts including system upgrades, modernization initiatives, and specialized research like shaped charge component redesign. No set-aside designations were used in these awards.

The federal contract opportunities in this PSC category are primarily from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and NASA, seeking organizations to establish regional innovation and research coordination hubs. These opportunities include establishing a Regional Anchor for the NSF Convergence Accelerator in the Southeast and Midwest Regions, and creating a Network Coordination Hub for Microelectronics Education. The solicitations cover comprehensive programs spanning regional innovation ecosystem development, research coordination, and specialized educational initiatives. Performance locations include various U.S. regions such as the Southeast (North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Virgin Islands) and Midwest (North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Illinois). Potential contract values range up to $30 million over multi-year periods.
