About this opportunity
The Department of the Navy's Office of Naval Research awarded a $33,319,192 cost-plus-fixed-fee contract to SRI International Inc for the Bluestar Low Amplifying Signal Transmission (BLAST) project. The contract, designated N0017325C0005 and awarded on April 30, 2025, involves research, development, experiments, maintenance, and systems engineering of the Naval Research Laboratory's specialized low-frequency, high-power Bluestar antenna facility located at Stanford University. This sole-source acquisition was justified because SRI International holds the exclusive lifetime lease agreement for the Stanford property housing the 150-foot Bluestar antenna and has been the facility's sole operator since 1961, possessing unique expertise in the antenna's analysis, design, calibration, and operation. The contract structure includes a base year and four one-year options, with the justification documentation indicating that relocating the antenna would cost approximately $40 million and may not be technically feasible.
