Maneuver Center of Excellence (MCOE)

Department of the Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) established a Master IDIQ for the Maneuver Center of Excellence (MCoE) on December 31, 2018, with a shared ceiling of $168 million and an ordering period that closed on December 29, 2023. The vehicle is no longer active — ordering closed more than two years ago, and no new task orders can be placed against it.

The vehicle is effectively obsolete for new business pursuit. Thirty-six task orders were awarded over the vehicle's life, but ordering momentum declined sharply in later years: 12 orders in 2019 fell to 3–6 orders annually from 2020 onward, with only 4 orders in the final ordering year (2023). The portfolio has obligated $95.1 million of the combined $144.6 million potential value across all awarded task orders, representing 66 percent utilization of the combined potential.

Work contracted under the vehicle consisted of training and doctrine support services for the Army's Infantry and Armor schools at Fort Benning, Georgia, including training development, doctrine development, capability development, instruction delivery, and training aids and simulations. Task orders ranged from small staff augmentation efforts (under $1 million ceilings) to larger surge-support contracts exceeding $20 million in potential value, with durations typically spanning 2–5 years.

Competitive concentration is steep. Summit Technologies, Inc. dominated the vehicle, capturing 11 of 36 orders with a combined potential value of $80.2 million—more than 55 percent of all task-order potential value. Yorktown Systems Group Inc. and System Studies & Simulation, Inc. followed as distant second and third with $21.5 million and $19.7 million respectively. The top three firms held roughly 75 percent of combined potential value; five primes covered 86 percent of order count.

Customer concentration is extreme: TRADOC placed 35 of 36 orders, representing $142.3 million of the $144.6 million portfolio. Nearly all orders (92 percent) were unrestricted competition, with the remainder split between two Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business orders and one total small-business order. All work was performed firm-fixed-price under FAR Part 16.505 ordering conventions.

MICC-Fort Eustis has awarded a Master IDIQ for the Maneuver Center of Excellence (MCoE) requirement located primarily at Fort Benning, GA. The United States (U.S.) Army MCoE at Fort Benning, Georgia is a Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) post. The requirements are a diverse and integrated spectrum of services and training support. These services are focused towards training concepts, training strategies, training doctrine, training development, analysis, and instruction to ensure that our maneuver forces are organized, equipped and trained for success.
