About this vehicle
The Army Research Development and Engineering Command established this Master IDIQ for C5ISR Integrated Operations high-performance computing research and development, scientific, engineering, and analysis support services on December 29, 2017, with a combined potential value of $175 million. The vehicle's ordering period closed on July 30, 2025; no new task orders may be placed against it.
Activity on the vehicle has ended. The most recent task order award was on January 18, 2021, more than five years ago. Seven task orders were issued in total, with the heaviest concentration in 2018 (four orders) and minimal activity thereafter (one order in 2020, two in 2021). Of the $173.1 million combined potential value across all seven orders, $101.4 million (59 percent) has been obligated, leaving $71.7 million unobligated. The most recent task orders still in execution have ultimate completion dates in June 2026, but no new ordering activity has occurred since early 2021.
All task orders fund the Army Research Development and Engineering Command exclusively; no inter-agency customer diversification exists. Work is technical and analytical in scope, spanning high-performance computing, machine learning, cybersecurity defense services, and command-and-control systems analysis.
Two primes split the awards evenly and dominate the vehicle completely: Parsons Government Services Inc. holds four orders valued at $93.6 million combined potential, and ICF Incorporated, L.L.C. holds three orders valued at $79.6 million combined potential. All seven orders carry unrestricted, cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing with no set-aside designations. Task order ceilings range from approximately $2.2 million to $69 million, with the largest orders (both January 2021) carrying ceilings of $53 million and $68 million respectively.
This vehicle is functionally closed to new business. The ordering deadline has passed, remaining obligations are modest relative to the total potential value, and no new task orders have been awarded in over five years. Pursuit is not viable unless the Army issues a successor IDIQ or amends this vehicle to extend the ordering deadline.
