About this vehicle
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) established a Master IDIQ on July 1, 2016, to furnish labor for Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance (SETA) support to DARPA's Defense Sciences Office (DSO), with ordering authority closing on June 30, 2021—now expired as of more than five years ago. This vehicle is no longer active and unsuitable for new proposal pursuit.
The vehicle executed six task orders between July 2016 and December 2016, all designated unrestricted (no set-aside), with a combined potential value of $181.5 million and only $31.6 million obligated as of the portfolio snapshot. Strategic Analysis, Inc. dominated the vehicle with three orders worth $98.4 million combined potential value—roughly 54% of total potential. Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. held two orders valued at $47.5 million (26% of potential), and ECS Federal, LLC received one order for $35.6 million (20% of potential). DARPA DSO was the sole customer agency across all task orders.
Task-order ceilings ranged from approximately $5.95 million to $46.5 million, with most structured as Time and Materials except two Cost Plus Fixed Fee orders. The largest single order was a Strategic Analysis, Inc. task order with a $46.5 million ceiling. All task orders executed in 2016 carried ultimate completion dates in November or December 2021, indicating the vehicle's active work window closed years ago. The combined potential value of $181.5 million against a shared ceiling of $120 million suggests the source's portfolio figure includes ceiling amounts across multiple task orders, some of which may have exceeded the vehicle ceiling individually or in aggregate.
This vehicle succeeded a predecessor DARPA BTO SETA Support Services contract (awarded April 1, 2016) and was itself succeeded by DARPA STO SETA Program Support (awarded June 21, 2017), placing it in a lineage of Defense Sciences Office and Science and Technology Office SETA vehicles.
