Phoenix has been awarded a $10 million indefinite quantity, indefinite delivery (IDIQ) contract with the U.S. Army, the company announced today.

According to a release, the contract will demonstrate improved neutron radiography and X-ray techniques applicable to the quality assurance of ammunition, armaments or components of weapons and defense systems.

“This IDIQ contract gives us the ability to work on advanced non-destructive testing projects across the Department of Defense, opening the door for advancements in quality assurance, research and development and failure analysis,” Phoenix President Evan Sengbusch said in a statement.

In addition, the contract includes the development of software packages, the development and implementation of training programs and working with Army subject matter experts and the Amerian Society of Testing and Materials committees to develop new and rigorous standards for computed neutron radiography.

Senator Tammy Baldwin and Congressman Mark Pocan secured the federal funding for this contract.

IDIQ contracts, which provide for an indefinite quantity of services for a fixed time, are used when the U.S. Government can’t determine, above a specified minimum, the precise quantities of supplies or services that it will require during the contract period.
