About this vehicle

The Naval Sea Systems Command established this Master IDIQ on June 28, 2017, to support the Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate and Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division in research, development, and test and evaluation of non-lethal weapons. The vehicle is no longer active — ordering closed on June 28, 2022, over four years ago.

The vehicle contracted science and technology work spanning human effects characterization for flash bang devices, thermal injury modeling, human electro-muscular incapacitation (HEMI) physiological research, mechanical tissue properties, short-pulse device development, and incremental field testing. All twenty task orders were cost-plus-fixed-fee labor contracts with no set-aside designations applied.

Applied Research Associates, Inc., captured the majority of activity with eleven orders totaling $5.4 million in combined potential value; American Systems Corporation held five orders worth $2.2 million; Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., and Applied Technology, Inc., each held two orders. The Navy funded nineteen of twenty orders, with a single order funded by the Defense Contract Management Agency.

Task-order values ranged from $10,000 (de-obligated minimum-guarantee placeholders) to $1.6 million, with most operational orders between $300,000 and $900,000. Ordering velocity declined sharply after 2019: the vehicle saw five orders per year in 2018–2019, two in 2020, three in 2021, and only one in 2022. The combined task-order potential value was $8.2 million, with $8.1 million obligated (99% utilization).

No new orders can be issued against this vehicle. Contractors seeking non-lethal weapons R&D work with JNLWD or NSWC IHEODTD should monitor for successor vehicles or direct Navy procurement actions.

Description

The Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate (JNLWD) and the Naval Surface Warfare Center Indian Head Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology Division (NSWC IHEODTD) are partnered in providing the DoD Non-Lethal Weapons Program with science and technology, research and development, as well as test and evaluation of non-lethal weapons to support current and future warfighter requirements. This Master IDIQ supports those efforts.
