Leidos wins $85m Air Force contract for aerospace design
The U.S. Department of Defense has awarded Leidos Inc. a contract worth up to $85 million for aerospace systems design research, according to a Friday announcement. The indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract focuses on Digital System-Level Mission-Driven Integrated Design Methods for Aerospace Systems. This research includes developing vehicle system design products and thermal management system design methods.
Leidos will carry out the work in Dayton, Ohio, under the contract which runs until September 18, 2036. Eight companies submitted proposals for the competitive acquisition, and the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio issued the contract. The first task order, which will receive $75,000 in incremental funding from fiscal 2026 research and development funds, does not obligate any funds to the basic contract itself.
