Fielded Training Systems Support III (FTSS III)

The Naval Air Warfare Center awarded this Master IDIQ on July 8, 2010, for Fielded Training Systems Support services including contractor operations and maintenance, contractor instruction, training device modification, spares support, and related services. Ordering closed on December 31, 2018, and this vehicle is no longer active; the successor vehicle, Fielded Training Systems Support IV, was awarded July 26, 2016.

This IDIQ is substantially exhausted. The combined task-order potential value is $662.5 million, with $618 million obligated (93% of potential value). The most recent task order was awarded April 27, 2017, nine years ago. Activity peaked in 2015 with five orders; ordering then declined to three per year in 2016 and 2017 before stopping. All 35 task orders fund Navy training operations exclusively—no customer diversification exists.

Competitive concentration is moderate. Valiant Global Defense Services Inc. leads by potential value at $211.8 million across three orders, followed by Fidelity Technologies Corporation at $168.2 million (seven orders) and LB & B Associates Inc. at $137.1 million (five orders). These three firms capture roughly 93% of combined potential value, though Fidelity leads in order count. General Dynamics Information Technology, Inc. and The Boeing Company each hold smaller positions. Twelve primes received awards total.

The set-aside mix heavily favors unrestricted competition: 27 orders (77%) carried no set-aside, while eight orders (23%) were small-business set-asides. Task orders ranged widely in value and structure. Representative large orders included contractor instruction services at $81.7 million (ceiling) and Marine Aviation Training System support at $92.1 million (ceiling), typically priced firm-fixed or cost-plus-fixed-fee. Smaller orders in the $1 million to $3 million range supported specific training sites or systems. Performance occurred globally at Navy training installations including San Diego, Groton, Jacksonville, and overseas locations such as Kuwait.

This vehicle should not be pursued. It is closed to new orders and substantially obligated, with no recent activity for nine years.
