Research & Development, Studies, Design and Engineering Services in Support of Remote Sensing Systems

The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, under the Department of Defense, awarded a cost-plus-fixed-fee contract to Computational Physics, Inc. for research and development in support of remote sensing systems, with a base period of 12 months valued at $5,472,217.80 and four additional 12-month options that, if fully exercised, would bring the total contract value to $28,725,017.15. The decision to use a cost-plus-fixed-fee structure was made due to the undefined nature of technical requirements, which precluded the use of a fixed-price arrangement. This contract is a total small business set-aside under NAICS code 541715, designated for scientific research and development services, and was competitively awarded through solicitation N00173-26-C-2410. Performance will be centered in Washington, D.C., with primary point of contact Daniel St. Denis and secondary contact Jamie Dixon overseeing execution from the agency’s office at 20375-5328. The contract was posted on April 30, 2026, and is managed under the Small Business Administration’s set-aside program to support small business participation in federal R&D efforts.
