COMOPTEVFOR Analytical Support Services

The Department of the Navy United States Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic) established this Master IDIQ for operational test and evaluation analytical support to the Commander, Operational Test and Evaluation Force (COMOPTEVFOR) on October 16, 2017, with a shared ceiling of $97.4 million. The vehicle is closed to new orders as of May 14, 2021, five years ago. The vehicle has obligated $32.1 million across 91 task orders (92% of combined potential value of $34.8 million), with no remaining capacity for pursuit. The last task order was awarded on September 11, 2020.

The work spans documentation review, test planning support, operational test design, test analysis and reporting, test operations support, modeling and simulation support, and program management support for US Navy systems, with task orders covering Navy programs including LCS Anti-Submarine Warfare Mission Package, P-8A, MK 54 Lightweight Torpedo, DDG 51 Flight III variants, MQ-4C Triton, F-35 JSF, cyber security initiatives, electronic chart display systems, and various weapons integration and communications programs. Individual task-order values range from under ten thousand dollars to over $3.3 million obligated amount, with most orders in the $100,000 to $500,000 range on a firm-fixed-price basis.

Tekla Research, Inc. dominates the vehicle with 34 orders and $13.5 million combined potential value (39% of the total), followed by KCG Engineering Group, Inc. with 22 orders valued at $7.1 million and Core Services Group Inc. with 12 orders at $6.7 million. These three firms account for approximately 65% of awarded task orders; AVW Technologies, Inc. and Aermor LLC hold the remainder. Roughly 91% of task orders carry no set-aside designation, with 9% designated as small business awards. The vehicle funds predominantly Navy programs through COMOPTEVFOR itself (33 orders, $12.2 million), Naval Air Systems Command (17 orders, $9.5 million), and Naval Sea Systems Command (16 orders, $5 million), with Army Chemical and Biological Defense programs also represented at $2.8 million across 18 orders.
