PEO U&W Program Management Services

The Naval Air Warfare Center (awarding on behalf of the Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command) established a Master IDIQ for program management services supporting the Army Program Executive Officer for Unmanned Aviation and Strike Weapons on August 29, 2018, with a shared ceiling of $210.7 million and a last date to order of August 27, 2023—ordering against this vehicle closed nearly three years ago and no new task orders may be placed.

The vehicle is no longer active for new procurement. Ten task orders have been awarded across the life of the contract, with the most recent award on June 1, 2022. The combined potential value of awarded task orders is $230.9 million, against which $179.9 million (78 percent) has been obligated. The ordering window has expired, making this vehicle suitable only for monitoring or historical reference unless the Government reopens the ordering period through formal action.

Services procured include project management, program management, change management, business management, acquisition management, Government-furnished-item management, configuration and data management, risk management, Foreign Military Sale efforts, and security and operations activities for unmanned aviation and strike weapon systems.

Competition concentrates heavily among five primes. Precise Systems, Inc. holds three orders representing $116 million in combined potential value—roughly 50 percent of the total. Ausley Associates, Inc. ranks second with two orders and $65.6 million in potential value; Bowhead Science and Technology, LLC holds two orders and $38.4 million; and Aviation Systems Engineering Company Inc. holds two orders and $10.8 million. Tekla Research, Inc. accounts for a single order with $1 thousand in potential value.

Funding concentrates almost entirely within Naval Air Warfare Center, which placed six orders representing $230.8 million in combined potential value. The remaining four task orders, valued at $4 thousand, fund Naval Air Systems Command proper.

Forty percent of awarded task orders carry small-business set-asides; the remaining 60 percent are unrestricted. Task orders are priced as Cost Plus Fixed Fee with durations ranging from administrative planning periods (nominal $1,000 value) to multi-year effort orders. The largest single order—Delivery Order N0042118D0024-N0042122F0269 to support PMA 262 PMAC CSS—has a ceiling of $90.3 million and ultimate completion date of May 31, 2027, with $52.3 million obligated.
