About this vehicle
This Master IDIQ, awarded by the Department of the Air Force United States Air Forces in Europe - Air Forces Africa on September 13, 2019, procures advisory and assistance services for technical, program, and IT support across Europe, with a shared ceiling of $95 million. The vehicle's last date to order was September 12, 2024, and ordering is now closed.
The IDIQ is largely exhausted and no longer active for new orders. Combined task-order potential value reached $98.6 million against the $95 million ceiling, with $94.5 million (96%) already obligated across 16 task orders. The most recent order was placed September 1, 2024. Early ordering momentum (nine orders in 2020) declined sharply after 2020, with only three orders in 2021–2024 combined, signaling the vehicle neared closure and exhaustion well before the final ordering deadline.
Scope spans pilot augmentation support, information-systems security management, environmental programs support, special operations planning and training, financial management, and weapons-safety services. Work is performed at overseas locations including RAF Mildenhall in the United Kingdom, Aviano Air Base in Italy, and other European installations supporting USAFE-AFAFRICA operations.
Competition is highly concentrated. Itility, L.L.C. holds seven orders valued at $63.3 million combined potential value, and The Mission Essential Group, LLC holds six orders valued at $31.5 million, together accounting for 93% of combined potential value. Validatek Inc. and CAE USA Mission Solutions Inc. hold the remaining two orders with minimal value. All 16 task orders are unrestricted, with no set-aside designations. Customer concentration is similarly narrow: USAFE-AFAFRICA placed 14 orders ($92.8 million potential value), and Department of the Air Force placed two orders ($5.8 million potential value). Task-order ceilings ranged from $2,500 to $41.2 million, with typical orders ranging between $1.2 million and $3.8 million, except for the largest order (pilot augmentation) at $41.2 million and a recent 2024 order at $14.8 million.
New business opportunities under this vehicle have closed.
