The National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC), a defense agency, awarded a $4.797 billion indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle called NOVASTAR to Modern Technology Solutions, Inc. (MTSI), a 100% employee-owned engineering services and technology solutions company. Under this IDIQ, NASIC is procuring a range of scientific and technical intelligence analysis support services from MTSI, including research, development, and sustainment of hardware, software, and systems capabilities to enable intelligence production. MTSI, as the prime contractor, has also been awarded multiple delivery orders under the NOVASTAR IDIQ with a total value exceeding $60 million. These task orders require MTSI to provide services such as obtaining data, performing technical analysis, writing assessments and predictions, and providing reports related to areas like air, cyberspace, space, ballistic missiles, and intelligence. The contracted work supports NASIC's mission to provide intelligence analysis for the U.S. Air Force, Department of Defense, and national-level intelligence efforts. The original pre-solicitation notice described NASIC's need for contract support to enable scientific and technical intelligence production, including collection, analysis, planning, processing, dissemination, and archiving activities. The NOVASTAR IDIQ replaces several existing contracts with a cumulative annual value of hundreds of millions of dollars. While the NOVASTAR IDIQ itself does not have any set-aside designations, some of the task orders awarded to MTSI under this vehicle have included small business subcontractors to provide specialized capabilities.
