About this vehicle
DOD Washington Headquarters Service established the Defense Systems Technical Area Tasks (DS TATS) Master IDIQ on June 23, 2014, consolidating technical area task requirements from six predecessor information analysis centers: WSTIAC, SURVIAC, RIAC, AMMTIAC, CPIAC, and SENSIAC. Ordering closed on June 22, 2019, and the vehicle is no longer accepting new orders.
The vehicle generated 235 task orders through June 2020. Activity peaked in 2016 with 71 orders, declining thereafter to just 1 order in 2020, reflecting the closed ordering period. Combined task-order potential value stands at $6.68 billion, with $6.02 billion obligated (90% of potential). Recent task orders span defense systems engineering, survivability and vulnerability analysis, research and development of unmanned and manned aircraft systems, weapons system sustainment, and spectrum management analysis, with order values typically ranging from $10 million to $100 million across multiple branches of the armed forces.
Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., KBR Wyle Services LLC, and HII Mission Technologies Corp dominate the prime contractor base, holding approximately 65% of awarded orders by count and 60% of combined potential value across the three firms. Georgia TECH Applied Research Corp and Mantech Tsg-2 Joint Venture comprise much of the remaining active tier, with seven other primes sharing the remainder. The vehicle carries no set-asides; 99% of orders are unrestricted.
The Office of the Secretary of Defense funds the largest share at $2.9 billion across 109 orders (46% of total potential value). Air Force Materiel Command ($758.5 million, 24 orders), Navy Naval Air Systems Command ($457.6 million, 15 orders), and Air Force Air Combat Command ($129.6 million, 6 orders) represent the primary secondary customers among 48 distinct customer agencies. Cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing dominates the vehicle, with one cost-no-fee order and a single firm-fixed-price award. Most orders carry ultimate completion dates between 2020 and 2023, though recent orders such as FA807520F0057 (radio spectrum studies, $51.3 million ceiling) and FA807518F1652 (E-2/C-2 airborne tactical systems, $45.0 million) extend into 2025 and 2026 respectively.
Description
The DS TATs contract is a consolidation of the technical area tasks (TATs) requirements from six predecessor legacy contracts: the Weapons Systems Technology Information Analysis Center (WSTIAC) contract, the Survivability/Vulnerability Information Assurance Technology Information Analysis Center (SURVIAC) contract, the Reliability Information Analysis Center (RIAC) contract, the Advanced Materials, Manufacturing, and Testing Information Analysis Center (AMMTIAC) contract, the Chemical Propulsion Information Analysis Center (CPIAC) contract, and the Military Sensing Information Analysis Center (SENSIAC) contract.
