DoD Technical Support Technical Studies and R&D Projects 2014-2020

DoD Washington Headquarters Service established a $650 million Master IDIQ for technical support, technical studies, and R&D projects supporting the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics, with the ordering period closed as of June 14, 2020. This vehicle is no longer active and available for new task orders.

Over its five-year ordering window, the IDIQ generated 29 task orders with a combined potential value of $581.6 million, of which $530.2 million (91%) has been obligated. Ordering momentum peaked early: six orders were placed in 2016, four in 2017, then declined to one in 2018, two in 2019, and four in 2020 as the vehicle approached closure.

Work spans acquisition policy support, program management, technical analysis, earned value management, financial and budget services, information systems engineering, and industrial base policy analysis. Pricing is predominantly firm fixed price with some fixed-price level-of-effort structures. Representative task orders include a $133 million foreign investment risk and industrial base policy support effort, a $125 million technical analysis and cyber support engagement, and a $66 million joint acquisition and data engineering initiative.

Competition is concentrated among three primes controlling roughly 94% of potential value: Systems Planning and Analysis holds $200.1 million across five orders; Aeyon LLC holds $149.3 million across five orders; and Booz Allen Hamilton holds $140.8 million across four orders. A long tail of smaller firms—Interactive Process Technology, Logistics Management Institute, and Modern Technology Solutions—awarded the remainder.

About 83% of orders are unrestricted, with 17% designated for small business. The Office of the Secretary of Defense dominates customer activity, funding 26 of 29 orders worth $550.1 million combined. DoD Washington Headquarters Service placed the remaining three orders valued at $31.5 million. No successor vehicle is identified in the source.
