Deployable Adaptive Global Responder Support (DAGRS)

The Department of the Army Research Development and Engineering Command awarded a Master IDIQ for Deployable Adaptive Global Responder Support (DAGRS) on August 4, 2017, with a shared ceiling of $480 million, but ordering closed on August 2, 2022—this vehicle is no longer accepting new task orders.

The vehicle funded research, development, and engineering services across a broad range of Army modernization and operational-support missions. Recent orders show work spanning counter-UAS systems, force protection sensor integration (FOCUS II), airborne surveillance systems, network enhancements, training simulation, and special operations aviation support. Most orders used cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing; a small number were firm fixed price. Task orders ranged from $2,500 administrative vehicles to over $93 million ceiling values, with representative substantive orders in the $9 million to $52 million range.

The vehicle is substantially spent. Combined task-order potential value reached $573 million across 43 orders, with $436 million obligated (76% of combined potential). Ordering momentum declined sharply after 2019; the vehicle issued just 4 orders in 2020 and 3 in 2022 before the August 2022 ordering cutoff. The most recent task order award dates from August 2022.

Leidos, Inc., Qinetiq Inc., and Envistacom, L.L.C. dominated the vehicle, collectively holding 29 of 43 orders and $392.9 million in combined potential value. These three primes account for roughly 67 percent of award count and 87 percent of combined potential value when adding Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. and HII Mission Technologies Corp. Eleven distinct primes held awards overall, but the long tail accounted for minimal activity.

The Department of the Army Research Development and Engineering Command (the vehicle sponsor) placed 24 orders worth $350.8 million combined potential value, representing approximately 74 percent of task-order count and 61 percent of combined potential value. Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps customers accounted for the remainder. Ninety-five percent of orders carried no set-aside; only two were designated Total Small Business.

This vehicle is closed to new ordering and substantially obligated. Pursuit is relevant only for recompete intelligence or for tail-end administration of existing orders.

Research Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM) has awarded a Master IDIQ for Deployable Adaptive Global Responder Support (DAGRS). Requirements may support the Research Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM), Communications Electronics Research Development and Engineering Center (CERDEC), Night Vision Electronic Sensors Directorate (NVESD) Quick Response Branch (QRB), Department of Defense (DoD) and other Government agencies.
