CBRNE Mission Support

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command awarded a Master IDIQ for CBRNE Mission Support on January 29, 2010, with ordering closed as of February 1, 2015. This vehicle is no longer active and cannot support new pursuit; the last task order awarded under it was issued on March 27, 2015, more than a decade ago.

The vehicle contracted engineering services across a broad CBRNE portfolio including cost estimating, equipment installation, chemical and agent monitoring, chemical demilitarization, quality assurance, risk assessment, closure studies, training, safety and medical program support, and design, fabrication, installation, modification, and validation testing of large-scale test capabilities. Task orders heavily emphasized research and development work at Army laboratories, particularly at Edgewood Chemical Biological Center, with orders spanning biosensors, trace detection, target defeat technology, chemical-biological detection systems, and laboratory facility construction and operation.

Leidos, Inc. dominated the vehicle by order count with 16 awards totaling $78.9 million in combined potential value, followed by Science & Technology Corporation with 7 orders worth $38.6 million and Battelle Memorial Institute with 6 orders valued at $35.7 million. HII Mission Technologies Corp held the largest combined potential value at $84.5 million across 5 awards. The top five primes collectively account for 77% of task orders and 82% of combined potential value, reflecting significant concentration. The remaining 7 contractors received a long tail of smaller awards.

Task orders funded almost exclusively Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command programs (33 orders, $245.4 million), with secondary funding from Army Contracting Command Aberdeen Proving Ground (8 orders, $49.3 million) and Joint PEO Chemical and Biological Defense (4 orders, $71.6 million). All but one of the 48 task orders were unrestricted; a single small-business set-aside order valued at $25,000 was issued March 27, 2015. Task order ceilings ranged from under $500,000 to $51.0 million, with cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing predominating. The vehicle obligated $319.1 million of its $371.5 million combined potential value (86% obligated) before ordering authority expired.

This is an engineering services support Master IDIQ for Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive (CBRNE) mission support. This support includes cost estimating, equipment installation, chemical and agent monitoring, chemical demilitarization, quality assurance, risk assessment, closure studies, training, and support of safety and medical programs. In addition, design, fabrication, installation, modification, and validation testing of large-scale test capabilities and facilities are relevant capabilities.
