The local companies were among more than 20 awarded a $900 million ceiling indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract for “yielding cost-effective warfighting capabilities,” the Department of Defense said late Friday.
An indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract is a type of contract that provides for an indefinite quantity of supplies or services during a fixed period.
“These contracts provide for the development of innovative approaches that bring multi-domain systems capabilities, the characterization of new technologies and systems through studies, recurrent demonstration, and rapid development to enable rapid prototyping, and test and capability transition,” the DOD said.
Future work under this multiple-award contract will be completed via the Fair Opportunity process, the DOD said. The process is meant to streamline hiring.
The locations of performance are to be determined at the contract direct order level and are expected to be completed by July 28, 2033.
The DOD said 70 offers were received for this contract.
