AV and Simulation Support Services 2010-2015

The Defense Health Agency awarded this Master IDIQ for audio-visual and simulation support services to the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences on May 27, 2010, with a combined potential value of $25 million and a last date to order of June 1, 2015—ordering closed over 11 years ago and is not available for new task orders.

The vehicle is fully expended. Over its five-year ordering window, 34 task orders totaling $12.5 million in combined potential value were issued, with 100 percent of that potential value obligated. Ordering activity peaked in 2012 with 9 orders, then declined to 4 orders in 2015. The most recent task order awards occurred in May 2015, nearly at the vehicle's close date. The final, largest single order—Delivery Order HU000110D0003-0001 for Wide Area Virtual Environment (WAVE) equipment and services, awarded September 1, 2011—represented $7.5 million in potential value alone, dominating the portfolio.

Scope ranged across classroom and simulation center infrastructure upgrades, including projector and display installations, videoconferencing systems, touchscreen panels, digital signage, audio equipment, and high-end simulation systems. Task orders averaged firm-fixed-price contracts with completion dates typically one to two years after award. Orders included both standalone equipment purchases and integration and installation services.

Competition concentrated heavily with Mechdyne Corporation capturing 68 percent of the vehicle's combined potential value across 4 orders ($8.6 million), while Human Circuit Inc. led by order count with 20 awards but only $2.9 million in combined value. General Projection Systems Inc., John M Street JR and Company LLC, and Revision Inc. split the remainder. All task orders were unrestricted (no set-aside designations applied).

The Uniformed Services University itself drove 83 percent of demand, with 19 orders and $10.3 million in potential value. The Defense Health Agency, Naval Air Systems Command, Army Medical Command, and the National Transportation Safety Board placed smaller numbers of orders. This vehicle is closed to new business.

The mission of the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU) is to provide the highest quality education programs in the health sciences to those selected individuals who demonstrate dedication to a health profession career in the Uniformed Services. As such, this Master IDIQ is for acquiring quality audio-visual (AV) and simulation support services at a fair and reasonable price as efficiently as possible to meet the current and future needs of USU.
