About this vehicle
The Army Contracting Command–New Jersey established a Master IDIQ for Weapons Research, Design and Support Services to ARDEC on June 1, 2018, with a shared ceiling of $99.9 million; ordering closed on May 30, 2023, and the vehicle is no longer active.
The window for pursuing work under this vehicle has closed. The last task order was awarded on May 31, 2023, nearly three years ago. No new orders can be placed. The vehicle obligated $96.3 million of its $98.2 million combined potential value across 45 task orders, achieving 98% utilization. The ordering momentum declined sharply in later years: 17 orders in 2019, then 9 in 2020, 3 in 2021, 2 in 2022, and only 1 in 2023.
Task orders span research, engineering support, and program management across ARDEC's core mission areas, including artillery systems (Extended Range Cannon Artillery, Paladin diagnostics, M119 and M777 support), ammunition and fuzes, fire control systems, candidate counter-unmanned aircraft systems, logistics, and administrative support. Recent large awards include Foreign Military Sales support for cannon artillery programs (Australia, India) and Abrams Ethernet system updates.
Competition concentrated among five primes. Savit Corporation and Total Technology, Inc. dominated by potential value, each with 10 orders totaling $46.2 million and $30 million respectively; Wisengineering LLC held the most orders (17) but captured only $13.9 million combined value. All five primes were unrestricted contractors. The set-aside mix was 73% unrestricted (33 orders) and 27% total small business (12 orders). Approximately 71% of orders by potential value flowed to the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command (ARDEC's parent), with the remainder distributed to PEO Ground Combat Systems, PEO Ammunition, PEO Soldier, and Detroit Arsenal.
Task orders ranged from under $200 thousand to roughly $18.7 million in ceiling value, with most firm-fixed-price work lasting one to two years. Work centered at Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey and supporting locations throughout ARDEC's engineering and testing operations.
