About this opportunity
The Missile Defense Agency (MDA) has issued a Special Notice for a contract modification to the University of Rochester Laboratory for Laser Energetics located in Rochester, New York. The modification increases the contract value from $14,999,266 to $49,914,225, with a total award of $34,914,959. The contract, originally identified as HQ0860-23-C-6000, extends the performance period from May 31, 2023, through May 30, 2028. Fiscal year 2024 and 2025 Research, Development, Test & Evaluation (RDT&E) Congressional Plus Up funding will be used to support the contract. The work will be performed in Rochester, New York, and focuses on developing and verifying physics-based pulsed laser lethality modeling.
The primary objective of this contract is to define and conduct tests that collect anchoring data to benchmark and verify physics-based pulsed laser lethality modeling. The contractor will develop models, simulations, and lethality toolsets to support analysis against various Department of Defense threats across ground, sea, air, and space domains. Upon government direction, the contractor will combine models of relevant threats and support systems with trajectories to provide a comprehensive lethality and military utility assessment. The University of Rochester Laboratory for Laser Energetics appears to be the sole contractor for this specialized research, leveraging its unique capabilities in laser-plasma interactions and experimental configurations. The contract includes a base period and two six-month option periods, with funding allocated specifically to support advanced research and technology development for the Missile Defense Agency's mission requirements.
Notice text
University of Rochester Laboratory for Laser Energetics of Rochester, New York is being awarded a $34,914,959 modification P00006 to a previously awarded HQ0860-23-C-6000 contract to increase the base period scope and add two six-month option periods. The value of this contract is increased from $14,999,266 to $49,914,225 (including options). Under this modification, the contractor will define and conduct tests to collect anchoring data to benchmark/verify physics-based pulsed laser lethality modeling. Models, simulations, and lethality toolsets developed shall support analysis against a variety of DoD threats and across ground, sea, air and space domains. Upon Government direction, models of relevant threats and threat support systems shall be combined with trajectories to inform a full continuity lethality and military utility picture. The work will be performed in Rochester, New York. The period of performance is from May 31, 2023 through May 30 2028. Fiscal year (FY) 2024 Research, Development, Test & Evaluation (RDT&E), Congressional Plus Up (CPU) funding in the amount of $9,700,000 will be obligated on this modification and an additional $2,375,000 FY 2025 CPU funding will be added in June 2025. The Missile Defense Agency, Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, is the contracting activity.
