About this vehicle

The Office of the Secretary of Defense awarded a Master IDIQ for analytical services in target descriptions, vulnerability, survivability, and weapons effectiveness studies, with ordering authority through February 21, 2029. The vehicle carries a shared ceiling of $99 million and serves unrestricted competition with no set-aside designations.

Ordering momentum has declined sharply since launch. The vehicle awarded eight task orders in 2024, three in 2025, and two in 2026, indicating a backloading pattern in the first year followed by reduced activity. As of March 2026, 13 task orders total have been issued with $78.3 million in combined potential value, of which $25.6 million (33 percent) has been obligated. Approximately $20.7 million remains available under the shared ceiling before the vehicle reaches its limit.

Competition is highly concentrated. Applied Research Associates, Inc. holds seven of thirteen awarded orders representing $71.8 million in combined potential value—roughly 92 percent of all work. The Survice Engineering Company LLC holds three orders worth $6.5 million. Three other firms (Altus, Corvid Technologies, and Peopletec) each hold single orders valued at $500, effectively token awards satisfying minimum guarantee requirements.

Funding concentrates similarly. The Office of the Secretary of Defense funds ten orders totaling $71.5 million, while the Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command funds three orders worth $6.8 million. Work includes sustained development of Joint Munitions Effectiveness Manual weaponeering software, Joint Air-to-Air Combat Effectiveness modeling, Advanced Joint Effectiveness Model simulation enhancements, Battle Damage Assessment capabilities, Cyber Operations and Lethality Effectiveness research, and Unexploded Ordnance Center of Excellence support. Task orders employ Cost Plus Fixed Fee pricing and range from $296 thousand to $26.9 million in ceiling value, with typical durations between 18 and 36 months. Four utility orders satisfying minimum guarantees were issued at $500 each with no-fee pricing.
