Omnibus 6 Software Engineering Support

The Army Contracting Command New Jersey at Picatinny Arsenal established this Master IDIQ on July 6, 2018, with a shared ceiling of $45 million, but ordering closed on July 12, 2023, and is no longer accepting new task orders. The vehicle is not viable for pursuit.

The contract funded four functional areas across Army software development: Software Development, Software Sustainment, Software Process Assurance, and Armament SEC Infrastructure Support. Awarded task orders spanning 2018–2022 covered specific programs including SPIDER maintenance, CROWS, NGCV software engineering, and NBCSPG support, alongside configuration management, process assurance, and organizational support environment work.

Six prime contractors shared the work, with Serco Inc. and Science Applications International Corporation dominating: Serco held 17 of 33 task orders worth $16.3 million combined potential value (approximately 40% of the total), and SAIC held 8 orders worth $14.3 million (approximately 35%). Polaris Alpha, LLC captured the remaining significant share with 4 orders at $9.1 million; smaller primes—Universal Technical Resource Services Inc. and Nexagen Networks, Inc.—held minimal presence. The top three firms collectively account for roughly 97% of task-order activity.

All 33 task orders carried unrestricted, competitive designations with no small-business set-asides. Roughly 50% of orders funded Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command ($15.2 million), and about 47% funded TACOM Life Cycle Management Command ($15.5 million), with smaller pockets going to Contracting Command Detroit Arsenal, PEO Command Control Communications-Tactical, and PEO Ground Combat Systems.

Combined task-order potential value reached $41.2 million, with $37 million (90%) already obligated. Task orders ranged from $500 minimum guarantees to orders exceeding $3 million, with typical delivery orders in the $1–3 million range. Most work was firm-fixed-price. Performance occurred at Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey, with subordinate activities at customer sites.
