Design Development Demonstration and Integration - Domain 1 (D3I)

The Department of the Army Space and Missile Defense Command established the Design Development Demonstration and Integration Domain 1 (D3I) Master IDIQ on February 9, 2017, for research, design, development, demonstration, and integration of space, high altitude, and missile defense products, with orders accepted through February 8, 2029. The vehicle carries a shared ceiling of $379.75 million, and task orders carry a combined potential value of $1.31 billion, of which $1.05 billion (80%) is obligated. Ordering has slowed: the vehicle recorded one to two orders per year from 2020 through 2024, and the most recent order was awarded July 1, 2024. All 29 task orders used no set-aside.

Awarded work centers on missile defense target and test support (TACRAM), NASAMS maintenance and sustainment, DIAMNDSS modeling, simulation, and wargaming, high energy laser tactical vehicle demonstration, Ground Based Radar upgrades, FMS air defense simulation, MJOLNIR mission command training, and space-based payload and nuclear propulsion efforts.

Nine primes hold orders. Science Applications International Corporation leads on value with 6 orders and $620.2 million, while Teledyne Brown Engineering, Inc. leads on count with 7 orders and $277.5 million. Dynetics, Inc. (4 orders, $235.4 million) and Raytheon Company (4 orders, $139 million) follow, with QWK Integrated Solutions, LLC (3 orders, $33.2 million) and four additional primes holding five orders combined. The top five primes account for 83% of orders.

The Department of the Army Space and Missile Defense Command is the dominant customer, with 27 of 29 orders and $1.27 billion in combined potential value. Two other customers each placed one order: the Installation Management Command Southeast Region ($32.9 million) and a $35 thousand order from the Department of the Army Materiel Command Contracting Command Redstone Arsenal.

Most orders are cost-plus-fixed-fee. The largest obligations are DIAMNDSS III Mod 95 under W9113M17D0007-W9126022FD508 ($209.99 million obligated), the High Energy Laser Option 3 system development order under W9113M17D0002-0002 ($202.7 million obligated), and W9113M17D0007-W9126020FD504 ($159.2 million obligated). Several firm-fixed-price orders carry a $35,000 ceiling and $0 obligated, issued only to fulfill the minimum obligation guarantee.

U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command's (USASMDC/ARSTRAT) D3I program will be utilized to conduct research for the development of hardware components and software solutions for Space, high altitude, missile defense (Domain 1), Information Integration and Data Exploitation (Domain 2), and Enhanced Warfighter Capabilities (Domain 3). The D3I Domain 1 IDIQ contracts will provide enhanced the USASMDC/ARSTRAT mission by contractually supporting the Command's efforts to design, develop, demonstrate and integrate products focused on the development of space, high altitude, and missile defense capabilities that enable the Warfighter to effectively support U.S. Strategic Command, other Combatant Commands, Department of Defense, other Services, and other Government agencies.
