The Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance (SETA III) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is a multiple-award contract established by the Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology (S&T) Directorate to provide comprehensive technical, engineering, and programmatic support services. The contract enables the agency to rapidly acquire systems engineering, technical assistance, subject matter expertise, and professional support across various operational divisions and research programs. Task orders under this vehicle cover a broad range of scientific, technical, and administrative support functions, focusing on enhancing the agency's research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) capabilities.

The SETA III contract has been primarily awarded to four prime contractors: Noblis (a nonprofit organization), Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), Mantech SRS Technologies, and AECOM Services. Task orders typically range from $3 million to $45 million, with performance periods spanning two to four years. Delivery orders support diverse functions such as the Office of Innovation Collaboration, International Cooperative Programs Office, Mission Critical Systems, Screening at Speed AI/ML efforts, and technical divisions like Operations and Requirements Analysis. The task orders are consistently time and materials contracts with no specific small business set-aside designation. Frequent subcontractors include small businesses like Deftec Corporation, Terrestris LLC, and Global-5, which provide specialized technical and administrative support. Most work is performed in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, with a focus on providing professional services to enhance the Department of Homeland Security's technological capabilities.
