About this IDV

The Global Application Research, Development, Engineering, and Maintenance (GARDEM) indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract is a multiple-award vehicle established by the Air Force Research Laboratory with a total ceiling value of $427 million over a five-year ordering period from September 16, 2019, through September 16, 2024. The contract supports research, development, engineering, integration, testing, demonstration, deployment, and maintenance activities for the GARDEM software toolset, which encompasses applications including Web-Enabled Temporal Analysis System Enterprise, Combined Information Data Network Exchange, International Distributed Uniform Reporting Environment, and Runway. Work is performed primarily at Sully Station, Virginia, as well as worldwide locations supporting United States Central Command and other combatant commands. The contract utilizes both cost-plus-fixed-fee and firm-fixed-price delivery order structures with no small business set-aside designation, enabling the Air Force Research Laboratory and multiple federal agencies to rapidly procure specialized technical and engineering services. Evaluation of awards emphasized technical approach and past performance capabilities.

Parsons Government Services Inc., a subsidiary of Parsons Corporation, has been awarded nine delivery orders totaling approximately $270 million under the GARDEM vehicle through various Air Force and Department of Defense components. Task orders span operational support for command and control systems, space capabilities, intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance command and control, research and development initiatives, and operations and maintenance field support for combatant commands. Delivery orders issued between January 2020 and May 2024 demonstrate the contract's utilization across multiple funding agencies including Air Force Research Laboratory, Air Combat Command, and Office of Naval Intelligence, with completion dates extending through August 2026. Parsons has engaged qualified subcontractors including Sterling Computers Corporation, Metron Incorporated, KBR Wyle Services LLC, and Epoch Concepts LLC to deliver specialized capabilities in data analytics, autonomy software, and information technology services supporting the program's technical objectives.
