NSWC Dahlgren Rapid Prototyping 2013-2018

This Master IDIQ, established by Naval Sea Systems Command on August 12, 2013, and closed to new orders on August 11, 2018, is no longer active for procuring rapid prototype development work for NSWC Dahlgren Division. The vehicle has fully expired and is not a pursuit opportunity.

The IDIQ awarded 68 delivery orders totaling $30.8 million in combined potential value, with $29.6 million obligated (96% burn-through). Ordering activity peaked in 2017 with 18 orders and remained robust through the vehicle's final year, with 14 orders placed in 2018. The final task order was issued on August 9, 2018, two days before the ordering deadline.

Scope concentrated on rapid prototyping and component fabrication for naval surface warfare systems, including assemblies for 30MM gun systems (computer racks, relay boxes, bezel assemblies), launcher control units, solenoid control modules, door closure mechanisms, diagnostic kits, and various support and test equipment. Task orders also funded technical and administrative support services under cost-plus-fixed-fee structures, and a smaller number of equipment kits and cable assemblies.

Competition was extremely concentrated. Two contractors captured 100% of the 68 orders: QinetiQ Inc. (36 orders, $18.9 million potential value) and Hart Technologies, Inc. (32 orders, $11.9 million potential value). Work was heavily biased toward small business, with 60% of orders (41) designated set-aside and the remaining 40% unrestricted. Customer concentration was significant: Naval Sea Systems Command funded 36 orders ($15 million), followed by Air Force Air Mobility Command with 17 orders ($13.1 million). Marine Corps, Air Force Materiel Command, and DoD Washington Headquarters accounted for the remainder.

Task-order values ranged widely, from $21.3 thousand to $3.05 million (ceiling), with durations typically 6–12 months. The largest order, N0017814D1009-0017 for a 30MM computer rack assembly, obligated $2.76 million on firm-fixed-price terms.
