About this vehicle

The U.S. Army Contracting Command — New Jersey, procuring on behalf of the Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC), established a Master IDIQ for Fire Control Systems & Technology (FCS & T) Core Competency Support on August 10, 2016, with a shared ceiling of $99.974 million and ordering closed August 10, 2021. This vehicle is no longer active; no orders may be placed against it.

Over five years of operation, 32 task orders were awarded across six prime contractors, obligating $98.2 million against the combined potential value of $97.8 million. Decilog, Inc. captured the majority of activity, holding 13 orders valued at $58.9 million combined potential (60% of vehicle dollars), with RDM Engineering, LLC ($18.4 million across 5 orders), MTA Inc. ($10.7 million across 6 orders), and Wisengineering LLC ($8.9 million across 5 orders) comprising the remainder of significant primes. The top four primes account for 97% of task orders; two smaller firms hold the balance.

Customer concentration within Army programs is pronounced. The Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command placed 16 orders valued at $32.9 million combined potential, while the Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal (supporting TACOM) placed 10 orders worth $49.1 million combined potential. The two largest customers account for roughly 83% of vehicle dollars. Other funding includes TACOM Life Cycle Management Command, Picatinny Arsenal, and Army general.

Scope centered on software development, integration, test, and fielding support for artillery and mortar fire control systems, including Digital Fire Control Systems (M777A2 and M119A3 howitzers), Mortar Fire Control Systems (MFCS), Common Fire Control System (CFCS), Digital Fire Control Systems for M119/M777, and Lightweight Handheld Mortar Ballistic Computer (LHMBC) systems. Work included software requirements, configuration management, system integration, and peripheral interface support. Most recent task orders awarded August 6, 2021, ranged from $1.2 million to $5.6 million in obligated value.

About 69% of orders carried no set-aside; 31% were designated Total Small Business. Task orders were priced firm-fixed-price with typical durations of one year or less from award to ultimate completion.
