Logistics and Maintenance Engineering Support

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command established this Master IDIQ for logistics and maintenance engineering support to the Life Cycle Supportability Division at Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey, with the last date to order on July 21, 2020 — the vehicle is no longer active and has been closed to new orders for nearly six years.

The vehicle awarded 14 task orders totaling $2.1 million in combined potential value, with 100 percent of that value obligated. Ordering activity peaked in 2018 and 2020, with three task orders awarded in each year; the final orders issued in July 2020 included technical analyst and illustrator services, Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station (CROWS) engineering services, and maintenance engineering support, all firm-fixed-price engagements with one-year or shorter performance periods in the $130,000 to $335,000 range.

Polaris Alpha Advanced Systems Inc. dominates the vehicle, holding eight of fourteen orders and $1.5 million of the combined potential value. Subsystem Technologies Inc. secured five orders totaling $446 thousand, and Logistics Management Institute one order for $151 thousand. All 14 task orders were unrestricted, with no set-aside designations. The single customer is the Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command.

Individual task-order values ranged from $1,000 (a nominal order in July 2015) to $334,334 (the CROWS engineering services award in July 2020), with most substantive orders falling between $100,000 and $300,000. Task orders were overwhelmingly for professional labor — technical analysts, illustrators, project assistants, and engineering support — to develop technical manuals, support logistics programs, and perform repair and maintenance analysis. Most recent orders permitted remote work contingency arrangements in response to COVID-19.

The vehicle is closed to new procurement. Any vendor pursuing Picatinny Arsenal or RDECOM logistics engineering work must identify active successor vehicles or negotiate new awards outside this IDIQ framework.
