About this vehicle
DARPA established this Master IDIQ for Biological Technologies Office (BTO) scientific, engineering, technical, and administrative (SETA) support on April 1, 2016, with a shared ceiling of $95 million and ordering closed on March 31, 2021—the vehicle is no longer active. This vehicle has been superseded by the DARPA DSO SETA Support Services IDIQ, awarded July 1, 2016.
All twelve task orders issued under the vehicle were awarded between June and November 2016, concentrated in front-office support and technical support across BTO's core research domains: neuroscience, biomedical engineering, synthetic biology and pharmacology, molecular biology and biosecurity, biochemistry and genomics, nanoengineering, and neural engineering. All orders carry Cost Plus Fixed Fee pricing and are unrestricted (no set-aside designations).
Three primes share the work equally by order count—each awarded four task orders. Strategic Analysis, Inc. holds the largest combined potential value at $69.2 million across its four orders, followed by Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. at $52.3 million, and Schafer Government Services, LLC at $35 million. All task orders fund DARPA's BTO exclusively; no other agencies participated.
The combined potential value across all twelve orders is $156.5 million against the $95 million shared ceiling, with $69.8 million (45% of potential value) obligated. Task-order ceilings range from approximately $6 million to $31.1 million, with duration typically ending between August 2021 and November 2021 for the early orders, extending to August 2022 for one longer-term award. The largest order by ceiling was Delivery Order IND16PC00067-IND16PD00263 to Schafer Government Services, LLC, at $31.1 million potential value with $15.8 million obligated.
Since this vehicle closed to new orders in March 2021 and all awards were issued nearly a decade ago, pursuit is limited to existing primes seeking re-compete opportunities in the active successor vehicle.
