TRADOC SCoE Instructor Training Support and Development (ITSD)

The Department of the Army Materiel Command Sustainment Command awarded a Master IDIQ for instructor training support and development to the Sustainment Center of Excellence (SCoE) at Fort Lee, Virginia, with ordering authority that closed on October 27, 2021 — nearly four years and nine months ago. The vehicle is no longer active. A successor contract, Sustainment Center of Excellence Instructor Training Support and Development II, was awarded on February 24, 2022.

The original vehicle awarded 98 task orders over its five-year ordering period, with 68 percent of the combined $155 million potential value already obligated at $105.2 million. Activity peaked in 2018 and 2019 at 19 orders per year, then declined sharply to 10 orders in 2021 and 1 order in 2022, reflecting the vehicle's approaching expiration. The most recent task order was awarded on March 24, 2022.

Scope covers classroom and hands-on instructor services across Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) schools, including driver training, medical support, ammunition/ordnance, transportation operations, quartermaster, communications, and specialized military occupational specialty (MOS) training. Orders also included training development, curriculum writing, simulation operator services, and support for exercises and field training. Individual task-order ceilings ranged from roughly $39,000 to $4.7 million.

Competition is concentrated among six primes. Fitt Scientific, LLC and Cognition-Marton JV, LLC together hold approximately 51 percent of combined potential value ($51 million and $47.8 million, respectively), with First Division Consulting Inc., Yorktown Systems Group Inc., and Red River Science & Technology, LLC filling the next tier. The customer base is heavily concentrated: Department of the Army Training and Doctrine Command placed 81 of 98 orders for $145.4 million potential value, accounting for 94 percent of vehicle activity; the remainder split among Army Materiel Command Sustainment Command and subordinate contracting offices.

About 77 percent of orders carried no set-aside designation; the remainder split between competitive 8(a) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business awards. The vehicle operated under a subcategory structure designating 8(a) companies and SDVOSBs as eligible competitors, though most awards were unrestricted. All task orders used firm-fixed pricing.
