R&D- Defense System: Miscellaneous Hard Goods (Commercialized)

The Product and Service Code AC97 encompasses Research and Development (R&D) for defense systems, specifically focusing on miscellaneous hard goods that have potential for commercialization. This category covers a broad range of innovative defense-related technologies and physical products that demonstrate commercial viability beyond traditional military applications. The PSC targets advanced technological developments in defense-related equipment, materials, and systems that can potentially transition into broader market applications.

Federal Contract Awards for AC97 typically involve complex defense research and development projects with contract values ranging from $500,000 to $10 million and durations spanning 18-36 months. These awards are predominantly issued by defense-focused agencies such as the Department of Defense (DoD), Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and various military research laboratories. Contract mechanisms frequently include small business set-asides, with a particular emphasis on small business innovation research (SBIR) and small business technology transfer (STTR) programs. Awardees commonly include specialized defense technology firms, university research centers, and engineering consulting organizations with expertise in advanced defense system development.
