The University of Dayton Research Institute, or UDRI, has booked a potential $98.5 million contract from the U.S. Air Force to conduct research focused on improving counter-targeting capabilities, the Department of Defense said Thursday.
Air Force Contract Terms
The cost-plus-fixed-fee, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract supports the development and refinement of emerging technologies in intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, and counter-targeting and counter-ISR capabilities. Under the terms of the contract, an initial task order valued at $22.7 million will be obligated. The funds will be sourced from the 2025 budget allocated for research, development, test, and evaluation. The Air Force Research Laboratory Wright Research Site in Ohio is the contracting activity. The contract was competitively bid and one offer was received. The work is scheduled for completion by July 31, 2030 and will be conducted in Dayton, Ohio.
Air Force Research Laboratory Contract
In April 2019, UDRI landed a contract valued up to $46.7 million to support the Air Force Research Laboratory in upgrading materials and processes for production and maintenance. Under the indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract, AFRL will set aside $508K in fiscal 2019 research, development, test and evaluation activities for the initial task activities. The work will be conducted in Dayton Ohio and is expected to be completed in May 1, 2026.
