Maneuver Support Center of Excellence Support Services (MSCoE)

The Department of the Army established this Master IDIQ on September 14, 2010, to provide technical, analytical, and operational support for doctrine development, training modernization, test and evaluation, simulations, and geospatial work across the U.S. Army Engineer School, U.S. Army Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear School, U.S. Army Military Police School, and the Maneuver Support Center of Excellence. Ordering closed on December 21, 2015, and no new task orders may be placed.

With 67 task orders awarded between September 2010 and September 2015, the vehicle has obligated $28.3 million of its $29.6 million combined potential value (96%). Activity peaked in 2011 at 28 orders, then declined sharply: 15 orders in 2012, 6 in 2013, 6 in 2014, and 10 in 2015. The vehicle is administratively closed and holds no remaining opportunity.

Awarded work spans doctrine and training development, instruction delivery across Chemical, Engineer, and Military Police disciplines, geospatial training material conversion, simulations support (G-3 simulation support cell, VBS2 scenarios), counter-improvised explosive device and explosive ordnance disposal subject matter expertise, and analytical laboratory system training. Task orders are typically firm fixed price with durations under one year, though some include option years. Representative awards include a $1.75 million counter-IED analytical support order and a $2.47 million CIED subject matter expertise delivery order.

Engility LLC dominates by potential value, holding 10 orders worth $10.3 million combined. Summit Technologies, Piton Science & Technology, Advancia Corporation, and Charles F. Day & Associates hold the next tier, with 14, 12, 12, and 11 orders respectively. These five firms control 88% of all task orders and 87% of combined potential value. A small tail of four additional firms awarded the remaining 6 orders.

Department of the Army Training and Doctrine Command placed 36 orders worth $16.4 million, representing the dominant customer. The parent Department of the Army placed 29 orders worth $12.3 million. A single Fort Leonard Wood contracting office placed 2 orders valued at $982 thousand.

Task orders split evenly between unrestricted and service-disabled veteran-owned small business set-asides: 35 unrestricted orders (52%) and 32 SDVOSB orders (48%). Place of performance concentrates at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, and other domestic MANSCEN training centers.

The mission of the U.S. Army Maneuver Support Center (MANSCEN) is to provide initial entry training, advanced military occupational specialty, and professional development training in Chemical, Engineer, Military Police, and Transportation disciplines; and to develop and integrate concepts, doctrine, training, force structure, and materiel requirements to support the force and ensure the vitality of the Chemical, Engineer, and Military Police Regiments. This contract will provide general technical, analytical, and operational support for the U.S. Army Engineer School; the U.S. Army Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear School; the U.S. Army Military Police School; and the Maneuver Support Center in critical lessons learned training, simulations, and doctrine updates for Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine, Coast Guard, and Homeland Security services. It will require support in relation to the following task areas: doctrine and training development, training force modernization, general test and evaluation, simulations and analysis, and geospatial.
