The Defense Systems Technical Area Tasks (DS TATS) is a multiple-award indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle consolidating technical area tasks from six predecessor legacy contracts: the Weapons Systems Technology Information Analysis Center, Survivability/Vulnerability Information Assurance Technology Information Analysis Center, Reliability Information Analysis Center, Advanced Materials, Manufacturing, and Testing Information Analysis Center, Chemical Propulsion Information Analysis Center, and Military Sensing Information Analysis Center. The contract vehicle supports a wide range of research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) services across defense technology domains, including aerospace systems, electronic warfare, weapon systems engineering, autonomous technologies, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities, and advanced material development for various Department of Defense (DoD) agencies.

The task orders under this contract vehicle are predominantly cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery orders with ceiling values typically ranging from $10 million to $100 million and performance periods of 2-5 years. Frequent prime contractors include Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., KBR Wyle Services, LLC, HII Mission Technologies Corp (Alion Science and Technology), Mantech TSG-2 Joint Venture, and Prescient Edge Corporation. The funding agencies are primarily the Office of the Secretary of Defense, Air Force Materiel Command, Naval Air Systems Command, Army Research, Development, and Engineering Command, and various program executive offices. Most task orders do not have small business set-aside designations, indicating full and open competition. Common performance locations include military installations and research centers in Virginia, Florida, California, Ohio, and Texas, with work focusing on technical analysis, systems engineering, program management, and technology development across defense domains.
