The U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM) awarded Scitech Services Inc., a small minority-owned business based in Havre De Grace, Maryland, a $24,998,591 single-award Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) to support the development of target defeat technologies. Under this IDC, RDECOM has issued several cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery orders totaling over $18 million for Scitech to conduct research, development, testing, and evaluation of non-lethal anti-personnel, vehicle/vessel stopping, and anti-materiel technologies. This includes investigating smoke/obscurant materials, dissemination methods, and other relevant target defeat capabilities to enhance the Army's chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) defense and targeting defeat objectives. Scitech, which holds several significant IDVs with the Department of Defense and Department of Health and Human Services, will perform the work at its facilities in Havre De Grace through 2024. The IDC and associated delivery orders were not set aside for any small business categories.
The RDECOM, which oversees Army research and development programs, is the primary funding agency for this IDC. The contracted work aims to advance the Army's non-lethal capabilities for compromising the effectiveness of enemy personnel, equipment, and support systems. This aligns with the command's mission to develop novel technologies and systems to enhance the military's ability to detect, identify, and defeat threats. Scitech's expertise in CBRN defense, scientific research, and technical support services makes it well-positioned to support these objectives under the IDC and its associated delivery orders.
