SATMO Education and Training

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Security Assistance Command established a Master IDIQ for Education and Training in support of the U.S. Army Security Assistance Training Management Organization on September 22, 2017, with a shared ceiling of $249 million and a final order date of September 20, 2022—ordering on this vehicle closed nearly four years ago and is no longer available.

Despite the closed ordering period, task-order activity has continued and accelerated, with one order placed as recently as February 2026. The vehicle issued 34 task orders over its lifecycle; activity spiked in 2024 with eight awards before moderating to two in 2025 and one in 2026. Combined task-order potential value stands at $130.7 million, of which $75.2 million (58% of potential) has been obligated, indicating significant unfunded ceiling remaining on active orders.

Work contracted centers on technical assistance field teams (TAFTs) and mobile training teams (MTTs) for allied nations' military forces. Recent orders span advanced weapons-system training—M1A2 Abrams tanks (Taiwan), HIMARS systems (Taiwan, Poland, Romania), Patriot air-defense systems (Saudi Arabia, Poland, Romania, Sweden), and IAMD battle-command systems (Poland)—alongside specialized training in medical support (Iraq Peshmerga), air surveillance (Kosovo), and strategic communications. Pricing is firm fixed price on most orders, with a minority at cost-no-fee.

Competition is concentrated among two lead primes: Downrange Operations and Training LLC ($54.8 million combined potential across 10 orders) and IDS International, LLC ($51.1 million combined potential across 12 orders) together command 81% of combined potential value. Cochise MTS Inc. and Govsource Inc. hold smaller shares ($12.5 million and $12.3 million respectively). All 34 task orders are unrestricted—no set-aside designations apply.

Funding flows almost entirely through the awarding agency itself (Department of the Army Materiel Command Security Assistance Command, $126.7 million of $130.7 million total). Typical task-order ceilings range from roughly $300 thousand to $28.7 million, with performance durations extending two to five years. The largest active order—Royal Saudi Air Defense Forces THAD TAFT—carries a $28.7 million ceiling obligated at $16.7 million.

Because the order date has closed, pursuit requires either identifying an existing vehicle holder seeking teaming partners or waiting for a successor IDIQ if one is anticipated.
