Indefinite Delivery Contract W911QY18D0159

The Joint Enterprise-Research, Development, Acquisition and Production/Procurement (JE-RDAP) is a multiple-award, enterprise-wide Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle established by the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical and Biological Defense, a Defense Department agency. Awarded to Tunnell Government Services, Inc. on November 1, 2017, the contract carries a program ceiling of $8.276 billion and extends through November 1, 2027. This omnibus contract vehicle is structured to support the federal government's research, development, acquisition, and procurement initiatives related to chemical and biological defense capabilities across the enterprise. The contract was issued as a multiple-award IDIQ with no set-aside restrictions, enabling the government to issue delivery orders against the vehicle to procure services and support necessary for ongoing chemical and biological defense programs and operations.

The contract structure indicates that Tunnell Government Services, Inc., a government consulting firm with expertise in human capital management, leadership services, and technical support, will provide enterprise-wide support services under this IDIQ vehicle. The initial task order issued on November 17, 2017—a start of contract meeting activity valued at $1,000 under a cost-no-fee arrangement—reflects the activation of the contract vehicle. As a subcontractor in previous government engagements, Tunnell Government Services has demonstrated capability in scientific support, technical and acquisition assistance, and business support services. The JE-RDAP IDIQ vehicle will generate additional delivery orders throughout the performance period as the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical and Biological Defense identifies specific requirements, with the place of performance centered at Westlake, Maryland.
