Analytic Studies Program

The Analytic Studies Program is a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle managed by the Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk for the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO). The contract vehicle provides comprehensive analytical, engineering, scientific, and programming services supporting strategic planning, operational analysis, and mission-level assessments across naval and joint military domains. Services encompass a wide range of capabilities including warfare and campaign analyses, modeling and simulation, data analytics, experimentation, wargaming, and management support. The contract enables the delivery of both cost-plus-fixed-fee and firm-fixed-price task orders, with an estimated total level of effort of 384,384 hours over a five-year ordering period.

Recent task orders demonstrate the vehicle's diverse analytical support, primarily awarded to Systems Planning and Analysis, Inc. (SPA) and Whitney Bradley & Brown, Inc. (WBB). Task order values typically range from approximately $250,000 to $2,700,000, with performance periods spanning six months to two years. Common task order scopes include naval strategic studies, campaign modeling, capability development, force structure analysis, and operational concept exploration. The task orders are consistently funded by the Department of the Navy, specifically through the Chief of Naval Operations and U.S. Fleet Forces Command, and are predominantly awarded on a full and open competition basis with no specific small business set-aside designations. Performance locations are primarily concentrated in Virginia, with contractors like SPA operating from Alexandria and WBB from Herndon, focusing on providing sophisticated analytical and advisory services to support naval strategic planning and operational readiness.
