Army Infrastructure Modernization 2006-2016

The Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center PMPEO PBUSE established the Army Infrastructure Modernization master IDIQ on April 28, 2006, with a shared ceiling of $4 billion and a final ordering deadline of April 27, 2016 — now closed for more than a decade. The vehicle contracted integrated voice, data, cable plant, and transmission products and services alongside site preparation, modifications, logistics support, training, spares, and warranties for Army communications infrastructure modernization across domestic and overseas installations.

Ordering has been closed since April 2016. The vehicle generated 113 task orders over its active life, with peak activity in 2012 (18 orders) and declining momentum thereafter; the most recent order was awarded in November 2014. Combined task-order potential value reached $1.34 billion, with $1.32 billion (99 percent) obligated. Roughly 67 percent of orders funded the Army Acquisition Support Center PMPEO PBUSE directly; the remainder served Army Materiel Command entities, including Joint Munitions Command (28 orders, $471.4 million potential value) and subordinate commands at Fort Belvoir, Aberdeen, and other installations.

Five contractors held 78 percent of awarded task orders by count: LGS Innovations LLC (22 orders, $297.9 million combined potential value), General Dynamics Information Technology (21 orders, $223.7 million), Siemens Government Technologies (16 orders, $101.3 million), Tyto Government Solutions (15 orders, $148.2 million), and Tyto Athene (14 orders, $321.1 million). These same firms dominated by value; Tyto Athene and LGS Innovations together held nearly $619 million of the vehicle's combined potential value. All 113 task orders carried unrestricted competition with no set-asides.

Task-order values ranged widely, from $21,049 (a close-out) to $97.3 million for Korea Transformation-Yongsan Relocation Plan increment one awarded on July 30, 2012. Typical completed orders ranged from $2 million to $50 million, with firm fixed price pricing dominant and occasional time-and-materials awards. Performance occurred at Army installations worldwide, including Fort Bragg, Fort Benning, Fort Campbell, Fort Bliss, Fort Hood, West Point, and overseas sites in Germany, Korea, Japan, Kuwait, Qatar, and other locations. Most recent obligations flowed to European and Southwest Asia infrastructure upgrades through 2014–2015.

Infrastructure Modernization (IMOD) vehicle covers a scope that is capable of seamlessly integrating voice, data, inside/outside cable plant and/or transmission products and services into a single integrated communications system. Site preparation, modifications and upgrades as well as initial logistics support, to include training, spares and v arious warranties are also included in the scope.
