Applied Research Associates will conduct research and development work for the U.S. Navy on non-deadly weapon technologies under a five-year, $48 million contract.
Under the cost-plus-fixed-fee contract, the Littleton, Colorado-headquartered company will provide workforce, equipment, materials, oversight and other requirements to perform R&D support services, the Department of Defense said Monday.
Work will be conducted at ARA’s site through Aug. 22, 2027. Contractor efforts are expected to generate non-lethal weapon-related data, hardware, software and equipment.
ARA won the contract through the SAM.gov website after outrivaling two other offerors.
The Navy is allocating $399,597 in fiscal 2022 research and development funds at the time of award.
