A -- R&D Support for Advanced Imaging Systems Used for Time Critical Strike Applications

The Naval Research Laboratory intends to increase the contract ceiling with Utah State University Space Dynamics Laboratory, a University Affiliated Research Center, through a sole source arrangement to support ongoing research and development activities. This effort focuses on critical tasks including sensor experiment data collection and analysis, exploration of new sensor systems and future sensor technologies, development of data fusion techniques, and the transition of scientific data and technology. The contract extension is necessary to maintain essential engineering and research capabilities until a new contract is procured. The original contract award was made under statutory authority permitting non-competitive procedures to sustain essential research capabilities specifically provided by educational or non-profit institutions and federally-funded research centers. As such, no solicitation will be issued for competing bids. The contract is titled "R&D Support for Advanced Imaging Systems Used for Time Critical Strike Applications," and is managed by the Naval Research Laboratory located in Washington, DC. The point of contact for this requirement is Lisa A. Fleming, Contract Specialist. The overall scope supports advanced imaging system technologies critical to time-sensitive strike missions.
