AMSAA Analytical Services

The U.S. Army Material Systems Analysis Activity (AMSAA), operating under Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command, established a Master IDIQ for analytical services in target descriptions, vulnerability and survivability studies, and weapons effectiveness support on October 1, 2018, with a shared ceiling of $48 million and a final ordering deadline of September 29, 2023—the vehicle is now closed to new orders as of nearly three years ago.

The vehicle succeeded the Army Analytical and Support Services IDIQ (2013–2018) and was structured as a multiple-award competition with four primes: two designated for small business and two unrestricted. Task orders have been issued on an unrestricted basis; all 42 awarded task orders carry no set-aside designation. Applied Research Associates, Inc. dominates the vehicle, holding 36 of 42 task orders with a combined potential value of $58.4 million—86% of the total $62.3 million vehicle value. The Survice Engineering Company LLC holds 4 orders valued at $3.9 million, while Joint Research and Development LLC and Altus, LLC each hold a single order of approximately $10 thousand. The combined potential value is fully obligated.

Ordering momentum has declined sharply: the vehicle saw 11 task orders in 2019 and 10 in 2020, dropping to 9 in 2021, 8 in 2022, and only 3 in 2023 before the vehicle closed. Recent work centers on Joint Munitions Effectiveness Manual (JMEM) systems support, Cyber Operations and Lethality Effectiveness (COLE) analysis, advanced joint effectiveness modeling, battle damage assessment, electromagnetic spectrum and electronic attack studies, and penetration analysis tools (FATEPEN and PROJPEN). All task orders are cost-plus-fixed-fee with typical values ranging from approximately $95 thousand to $6 million. Roughly two-thirds of task-order funding—66% by combined potential value—flows to Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command, with the remainder (34%) supporting Office of the Secretary of Defense requirements. Work is performed at AMSAA offices in Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland and at subordinate locations including Fort Meade, Dahlgren Naval Station, China Lake Naval Air Station, Eglin Air Force Base, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, and Langley Air Force Base.

U.S. Army Material Systems Analysis Activity (AMSAA) has awarded a Master IDIQ for performance of analytical services associated with target descriptions, vulnerability, survivability and weapons effectiveness studies, and support to current operations for the U.S. Army.
