About this vehicle
The Army Materiel Command Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal established a Master IDIQ for Test Execution Services and Launch Augmentation (TESTLA) on November 15, 2013, with a shared ceiling of $220 million and a last date to order of November 20, 2017. This vehicle is no longer active; ordering closed over eight years ago and no task orders have been issued since May 21, 2015.
The vehicle contracted labor, materials, travel, and other direct costs supporting U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command test and evaluation activities, including integrated missile defense programs, live-fire test and evaluation, rapid fielding initiatives, cyber technology, space dominance, and threat programs. Representative work included extended air defense simulation support, beam control system development, nuclear arms control technology research, and target labor for test ranges.
Ten task orders totaling $120.1 million in combined potential value were awarded, with $46.5 million obligated as of the last reported activity. Five distinct primes won awards. Teledyne Brown Engineering, Inc. dominated by potential value, holding three orders worth $88.4 million combined. Dynetics, Inc. held three orders for $22.4 million, and Leidos Inc. received two orders totaling $9.3 million. All awards went to unrestricted competition; no set-aside designations were used.
Demand concentrated heavily on the Space and Missile Defense Command, which funded five orders worth $120.1 million in combined potential value, while Redstone Arsenal itself funded five orders worth $25 thousand. Task orders ranged from modest briefing kick-offs at $5 thousand to substantial effort, with the largest being a 1000 km target labor delivery order at $67.4 million ceiling and a 1000 km extended air defense simulation order at $20.9 million ceiling. Most work was priced Cost Plus Fixed Fee or Cost Plus Incentive; completion dates extended into 2018 and 2019. The vehicle saw front-loaded ordering activity in 2013–2015 (10 task orders across three years) with no subsequent activity before the ordering period closed.
Description
