NASA has awarded a contract to New Mexico’s Metis Technology Solutions to provide engineering services and develop and maintain software and hardware for conducting simulations for aerospace research and development across the agency.
The Aerospace Research, Technology, and Simulations (ARTS) contract is a hybrid cost-plus-fixed-fee and firm-fixed-price contract with an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity component. It has a maximum potential value of USD177 million. The performance period begins December 1, 2024, with a one-year base period and options to extend performance through November 2029.
Under this contract, Metis will support the preparation, development, operation, and maintenance of future and existing simulators, integration laboratories, aircraft research systems, simulation work areas, and aircraft research systems.
The scope of work will also include the development, testing, and validation of advanced air traffic management automation tools, including, but not limited to, advanced concepts for aviation ecosystems.
Work will primarily be performed at NASA’s Ames and Langley Research Centers, as well as other agency or government locations, as needed.
