About this vehicle
The Department of the Army Forces Command awarded this Master IDIQ on March 16, 2011, with a shared ceiling of $2.5 billion and ordering authority that closed on March 22, 2016—more than a decade ago. This vehicle is no longer available for new task orders.
The IDIQ contracted operational planning, training, modeling and simulation, flight operations, mobilization planning, deployment operations, force protection, and transformation support. Task-order activity ran heaviest in 2012–2013, with 13 and 14 orders respectively, declining to 9 in 2015 and 3 in early 2016. Of the 107 task orders awarded between July 2011 and March 2016, 93 percent of combined potential value—$454.2 million of $487.7 million—has been obligated.
Northrop Grumman Technical Services dominates by value, holding 2 orders worth $180.2 million combined potential value. Caci Technologies follows with 5 orders for $71.2 million, and Cubic Global Defense, Engility, and General Dynamics Information Technology round out the top tier. Concentration is significant: these five primes account for 77 percent of combined potential value despite representing only 41 percent of order count. A broader field of 31 additional small business systems integrators and technical services firms won the remaining awards.
Army customers placed roughly 80 percent of task orders. Army Forces Command led by order count (40 orders, $18.2 million potential value), but Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) dominated by value with 34 orders worth $89 million combined. Army Materiel Command Sustainment, Army Installation Management Command Southwest Region, and other Army components filled the remainder.
Approximately 55 percent of task orders carried total small business set-asides; the remaining 45 percent competed unrestricted. Task-order values ranged widely, from $5,000 minimum guarantees to a $180.2 million order under Northrop Grumman. Several large awards exceeded $30 million in potential value, including Mission Training Complex operations ($25.4 million), Mission Command training support ($24.3 million), and MCTC support for corps-level training ($180.2 million). Most awards used firm fixed price; a subset employed cost-plus fixed fee for ongoing labor-intensive support. Places of performance centered on Army training posts—Fort Polk, Fort Rucker, the Joint National Training Center, and rotational training centers—with some nationwide and overseas deployments.
