Part 14. Polimaster was awarded a contract under the DOD JE-RDAP IDIQ
In 2017, Polimaster, already a soaring expert in radiation detection and monitoring solutions, was awarded a contract under the U.S. Department of Defense Joint Enterprise Research, Development, Acquisition, and Production/Procurement (DOD JE-RDAP) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) program. This procurement vehicle with a total program ceiling of $8.27B was designed to support a range of defense-related research and development projects. The term "Joint Enterprise" indicates a collaborative effort involving various branches or departments within the U.S. DoD to enhance military capabilities collectively. The contract covers all stages from research and development to acquisition, production, and procurement of systems, technologies, or services.
An IDIQ contract allows for an indefinite quantity of supplies or services over a set period, enabling the government to issue delivery or task orders as needed, which provides flexibility and adaptability throughout the contract's duration. The JE-RDAP IDIQ contract aims to boost U.S. military capabilities through advanced research and development, facilitate the acquisition of cutting-edge technology, and streamline the procurement process to respond swiftly to emerging threats and technological advancements. Typical uses for the JE-RDAP IDIQ contract include developing new defense technologies, procuring advanced weapons systems, and conducting research in various fields. The benefits are numerous: it speeds up the procurement process, allowing for quicker deployment of essential technologies and services, reduces administrative overhead, potentially lowers costs through economies of scale, and fosters partnerships among various DoD entities and contractors.
Overall, the DOD JE-RDAP IDIQ contract is essential for maintaining and advancing the technological edge of the U.S. military. It provides a streamlined, flexible, and efficient means of procuring advanced research, development, acquisition, and production services and technologies, ensuring the military can effectively meet current and future challenges.
Under this contract, Polimaster’s role involved supplying the U.S. DoD with advanced radiation detection and monitoring devices. The contract facilitated the rapid procurement and deployment of Polimaster’s cutting-edge radiation detection technologies, enhancing the DoD's ability to detect and respond to radiological and nuclear threats. Polimaster's inclusion in the JE-RDAP IDIQ contract highlights the critical importance of radiation detection in national security. Polimaster is proud to be a part of the JE-RDAP program hoping that our advanced radiation detection technology helps the United States of America improve our country’s capabilities in detecting and responding to radiological and nuclear threats, ensuring better protection for military personnel and the public.
