The Operational Experimentation Support 2019 Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, awarded by the Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Fleet Logistics Center, provides comprehensive support for operational experimentation across Navy, joint, multi-service, and Allied environments. The contract enables planning, design, execution, analysis, assessment, and reporting services for naval warfare development initiatives. Specifically, the vehicle supports the Navy Warfare Development Command's (NWDC) efforts to advance fleet readiness and operational capabilities through structured experimental programs.
The vehicle has principally seen task orders awarded to Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., with recent delivery orders ranging from approximately $9.3 million to $28.2 million. Task orders have included fleet support services and the Navy Lessons Learned Program, covering both cost-plus-fixed-fee and firm-fixed-price contract line items. The U.S. Fleet Forces Command has been a primary funding agency, with contract performance involving subcontractors such as Acenda LLC (a veteran-owned small business) and P E Systems, Inc. (a minority-owned, woman-owned, and service-disabled veteran-owned small business). While no specific set-aside designations have been used, the contracts require a facility security clearance and support experimental activities at various locations involving Navy, joint forces, and international allies. The master IDIQ has a shared ceiling of $55.1 million and is valid through September 30, 2024.
