About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) issued this sole-source Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract justification for preventive maintenance and engineering support services related to its newly constructed 12-ft x 12-ft Advanced Blast Load Simulator (ABLS-12) facility. The contractor will provide comprehensive preventive maintenance including inspection, cleaning, lubrication, calibration, and component replacement of the ABLS-12 and its associated systems, as well as develop customized test plans and procedures based on researcher requirements. The contract was awarded to Stumptown Research and Development LLC (CAGE: 824N1) based on their exclusive license agreement with the ABLS patent designers and their prior involvement in constructing the ABLS-12 gas flow system, making them the sole source with the specialized technical knowledge required to support this unique underground testing device. The IDIQ contract has a five-year ordering period with a maximum capacity of $1,000,000.00 and a minimum guarantee of $10,000.00 for the first task order, with anticipated awards of at least two task orders per year. A Notice of Intent posted to SAM.gov on July 3, 2025 resulted in no competing proposals, and the Contracting Officer determined the price fair and reasonable following cost analysis and market research, with approval granted on October 7, 2025.
Notice text
The Structural Mechanics Branch (SMB) of the Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory (GSL) of the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) currently conducts R&D by operating an 8-ft x 8-ft Blast Load Simulator (BLS-8) that is used to evaluate structural targets subjected to shock waves produced by compressed gasses. To increase the testing capabilities of ERDC beyond the current physical constraints or size of the BLS, SMB is constructing a 12-ft x 12-ft Advanced Blast Load Simulator (ABLS-12) which will soon be used in large scale testing at ERDC. This new system is nearly complete and in the final stages of calibration testing. With this new system, comes the need for the development, and performance, of Preventive Maintenance (PM) and Engineering Support Services. The Contractor shall provide all personnel, supervision and other items and services necessary to provide non-personal technical assistance to ERDC-GSL as defined in this PWS. The Contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract. Contract is for an IDIQ with a capacity of $1,000,000.00 and a 5-year ordering period (for ordering up to five years or until max capacity is met) to conduct specialized experimentation in the ABLS Facility.
Awarded contract W912HZ26DA001 to unknown vendor for unknown amount on 2026-02-24.
