About this vehicle
The Department of the Army's PEO Simulation, Training and Instrumentation awarded the CARTS Engineering Services Master IDIQ on September 30, 2010, with a shared ceiling of $400 million, but the vehicle is now closed to new orders as of September 29, 2015. No new task orders may be placed against this vehicle.
The IDIQ supported Army training range engineering and instrumentation work, including armor target systems, moving and stationary targets, range design and testing, and training facility infrastructure. Task orders funded Fort A.P. Hill, Fort Bliss, Fort Dix, Fort Benning, and Fort Riley range work, as well as foreign military sales training ranges including Serbia multipurpose training range upgrades. Work was performed primarily at domestic military installations with overseas components for FMS programs.
Approximately 96% of the combined potential value of $50.7 million has already been obligated across 42 task orders awarded between September 2010 and August 2015. The most recent task order was issued on August 20, 2015. Activity peaked in the final year of the vehicle's ordering period, with four orders placed in 2015 alone following slower adoption in prior years (one order per year in 2011–2012, three in 2013, two in 2014).
Competition concentrated among five firms: Riptide Software, Inc. ($14.9 million across three orders), Sius Target Systems USA Inc. ($11.2 million across six orders), Tactical Micro, Inc. ($10 million across four orders), Laser Shot, Inc. ($5.8 million), and Allied Container Systems, Incorporated ($4.7 million across two orders). These five firms captured roughly 92% of combined potential value. A wider field of 18 small-business and unrestricted contractors held the remaining awards.
About 74% of orders carried no set-aside, with 24% designated for total small business and 2% for partial small business. The contracting activity was concentrated within Army's PEO STRI (20 orders, $38.7 million) and Army Materiel Command's Orlando Contracting Center (21 orders, $11.5 million), with a single Security Assistance Command order worth $553 thousand. Pricing was predominantly firm fixed price, with two cost-plus-fixed-fee orders exceeding $6 million and $5.8 million respectively. Individual task-order values ranged from minimum guarantees of $1,000 to a peak of roughly $8.9 million, with most substantive orders in the $1–$6 million range.
