Professional Services for Rapid Equipping Force

The U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command established this Master IDIQ on January 1, 2016, to procure professional services in support of Rapid Equipping Force administration, security, operations, requirements analysis, logistics, acquisition, and technical research, with performance in CONUS and OCONUS locations including Afghanistan. Ordering closed on December 30, 2020; the vehicle is no longer active.

The Master IDIQ is completely exhausted and closed. All $22.2 million in combined potential value across eight task orders has been obligated. The most recent order awarded on October 18, 2019, and no new orders have been placed in the past six years. Task-order activity declined sharply after initial ramp-up: four orders in 2016 dropped to one each in 2017 and 2018, with a final two orders in 2019 before the ordering period ended. All task orders were Cost Plus Fixed Fee or Cost No Fee structures with 12–48 month performance windows.

The competitive field is narrow and dominated by The Ravens Group, Inc., which holds 6 of 8 orders worth $20.9 million in combined potential value (94% of all work), with Barbaricum LLC accounting for the remaining 2 orders valued at $1.4 million. Customer concentration mirrors the prime distribution: Department of the Army Training and Doctrine Command placed 7 orders ($16.8 million), while Department of the Army Materiel Command Mission and Installation Contracting Command Fort Eustis placed 1 order ($5.5 million).

Set-aside distribution shows 5 orders (63%) unrestricted competitive, with 3 orders (38%) designated for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business — two competitive and one sole-source. Task-order values ranged from approximately $16,000 to $5.9 million, with the largest order (W911S020F0002 to The Ravens Group, Inc.) closing at $4.3 million in May 2020. The shared ceiling of $49.9 million was never fully utilized; actual spending settled at $22.2 million. This vehicle presents no forward pursuit opportunity.

The U.S. Army Rapid Equipping Force has a requirement for professional services in support of administration, security, operations, requirements and mission analysis, logistics, acquisition, and technical research and analysis with duties both outside the continental United States (OCONUS) and within the continental United States (CONUS), to include facilities in Afghanistan and at any other future training/war/conflict location identified by the Army.
