Design, Development, Demonstration and Integration (D3I)

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command established a Master IDIQ for Design, Development, Demonstration and Integration (D3I) research and development, with ordering open through February 8, 2029. Task orders split between unrestricted and total small business set-asides, so the vehicle is not restricted to one category. The vehicle carries a $1.94 billion shared ceiling and is organized into three domains: Domain 1, Domain 2, and Domain 3. Established February 18, 2016, it has 59 task orders, the most recent awarded July 12, 2024. Ordering activity runs modestly, at 3 orders in 2020, 2 in 2021, 4 in 2022, 2 in 2023, and 5 in 2024. Orders carry $2.13 billion in combined potential value, of which $1.57 billion (74%) is obligated. No predecessor or successor vehicle is identified in the source.

Scope in awarded orders centers on directed energy and high energy laser integration, missile defense target and test services (TACRAM), extended air defense simulation sustainment, Foreign Military Sales support, NASAMS maintenance and engineering, and DIAMNDSS system utility analysis and combat development. Smaller orders cover training and build support for Army mission command systems and high-altitude, space-based payload development.

Five primes account for 56% of task orders: Science Applications International Corporation (6 orders, $620.2 million), Radiance Technologies Inc. (7 orders, $370.4 million), Teledyne Brown Engineering, Inc. (7 orders, $277.5 million), Serco Inc. (7 orders, $167.5 million), and Cybex, LLC (6 orders, $180.5 million). Dynetics, Inc. (4 orders, $235.4 million) ranks second by potential value after Science Applications International Corporation and Radiance Technologies Inc., which together with Teledyne Brown Engineering, Inc. and Cybex, LLC hold 79% of combined potential value. Fourteen other primes make up the long tail.

The Department of the Army Space and Missile Defense Command is the customer on 55 of 59 orders, totaling $2.07 billion in combined potential value. The remaining four orders fund Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Redstone Arsenal ($35 thousand), Department of the Army Installation Management Command Southeast Region ($32.9 million), Department of the Air Force ($13.9 million), and Department of the Air Force Defense Finance and Accounting Service ($7.6 million).

Set-aside designations split 38 orders (64%) with no set-aside and 21 orders (36%) as total small business. Largest individual awards include a Cost Plus Fixed Fee DIAMNDSS III order to Space and Missile Defense Command with a $280.97 million ceiling and $209.99 million obligated, and a $98.85 million ceiling MACDE order. Orders designated as minimum obligations at $10,000 to $35,000 fulfill the guarantee only and do not represent typical task-order values.

U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command (USASMDC/ARSTRAT) has awarded a Master IDIQ for Design, Development, Demonstration and Integration (D3I) services. The D3I contracts will be utilized to conduct research for the development of hardware components and software solutions for space, high altitude (HA) and the aerial layer, integrated missile defense, cyber and information operations (IO), information integration and data exploitation, enhanced Warfighter capabilities, and perform inherent Army Service Component Command responsibilities to meet USASMDC/ARSTRAT's mission goals. D3I is separated into three domains.
