Information Analysis Center Multiple-Award Contract (IAC-MAC)

The DOD Washington Headquarters Service awarded the Information Analysis Center Multiple-Award Contract on September 25, 2018, with ordering authority extending through April 8, 2028—approximately 20 months remaining. This Master IDIQ procures RDT&E services and R&D-related analytical services supporting military, national security, and dual-use applications across the DoD research and engineering community, spanning 324 task orders to date.

The vehicle remains actively ordered. The most recent task order was awarded October 1, 2025. Annual ordering volume has moderated from a 2021 peak of 56 orders to 28 orders in 2025, a declining trend over the last five years. Task orders obligate $15.8 billion against a combined potential value of $28.03 billion—56% of capacity drawn. Recent orders show task-order ceilings ranging from $15.2 million to $805.8 million, with durations extending five to seven years.

Three primes dominate the vehicle. Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. holds 71 orders valued at $5.75 billion combined potential; HII Mission Technologies Corp. holds 59 orders at $5.26 billion; and KBR Wyle Services, LLC holds 66 orders at $5.24 billion. These three capture 73% of orders by count and 76% by combined potential value. Battelle Memorial Institute, Mantech Tsg-2 Joint Venture, and Caci, Inc. - Federal each hold smaller but material positions. Competition is concentrated but not exclusive; 21 distinct primes have won awards.

Customer concentration reflects broad DoD demand. The Office of the Secretary of Defense leads with 54 orders at $3.85 billion combined potential value, followed by Naval Air Systems Command (34 orders, $2.65 billion) and Naval Sea Systems Command (20 orders, $2.63 billion). These three account for 42% of orders. Task orders span 70 distinct customer agencies, including Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Special Operations Command, and OSD offices.

Task orders are predominantly unrestricted—323 of 324 awards carry no set-aside designation. One order applied a partial small business set-aside, making this vehicle effectively open competition. All awarded orders use cost-plus fixed-fee pricing, standard for RDT&E delivery orders. NAICS 541712 (Research and Development in Physical, Engineering and Life Sciences) applies; the small business size standard is 1,000 employees. The originating 2016–2019 solicitation carried a partial small business set-aside at vehicle level, but realized task-order activity has not activated that reserve; no incumbent restrictions apply to task-order competition.

The broad technical scope if IAC MAC includes all RDT&E services and other R&D-related analytical services. These services may support all aspects of identified or potential military, national security-related, and dual use applications of related technologies and methods, as well as the development of tools and techniques that enhance the mission of the DoD Research and Engineering community.
