DAT Engineering and Technical Support

Naval Sea Systems Command awarded this Master IDIQ on January 23, 2018, for engineering and technical support services to the Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division, but ordering closed on September 2, 2022, making the vehicle no longer active.

The vehicle carried a combined potential value of $52.2 million across 122 task orders, of which $46.1 million (88 percent) has been obligated. Ordering activity remained relatively steady through the vehicle's life, averaging roughly 24 orders per year from 2018 through 2021, with 19 orders placed in 2022 before the ordering deadline.

Scope includes coordination of operational forces; warfighter workshops and engagement activities; preparation and facilitation of technology demonstration and assessment planning and readiness meetings; analysis and reporting of warfighting inputs and concepts; spectrum and frequency management; Human Resource Protocol Protection compliance support; and other compliance activities. Recent task orders illustrate the breadth: support for Marine Corps platforms (ALPV, SLV, TBMCS-MC), Navy command and control systems (GCSS-MC, MARCIMS), cyber operations coordination, Office of Naval Research programs, and joint non-lethal weapons initiatives.

Competition is concentrated: two contractors split the awards evenly. PAE National Security Solutions LLC holds 62 orders worth $27.8 million in combined potential value, while Advanced Technology International holds 60 orders worth $24.4 million. No other primes were awarded under the vehicle. Customer concentration is also high—Naval Sea Systems Command placed 120 of 122 orders valued at $48.9 million; the Marine Corps placed the remaining 2 orders at $3.3 million combined.

All 122 task orders carry no set-aside designation and are priced on a cost-plus-fixed-fee basis. Task-order ceilings range widely, from roughly $31,000 to $1.3 million, with most orders in the $200,000 to $800,000 range. All work has been completed; the most recent deliveries occurred in late 2023 and early 2024.

Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division (NSWC IHEODTD) has awarded a Master IDIQ for Demonstration and Assessment Team (DAT) at NSWC IHEODTD for engineering and technical support services. This entails coordination of operational forces to include; warfighter workshops and other engagement activities; preparation and facilitation of Technology Demonstration/Assessment planning and readiness meetings; analysis and reporting of warfighting/warfighter inputs and concepts; spectrum/frequency management; Human Resource Protocol Protection (HRPP) compliance support; and other compliance activities to support the S&T community.
