Traumatic and Operational Stress Services Program (TAOSS)

The Traumatic and Operational Stress Services Program (TAOSS) is a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle supporting the U.S. Army's research, development, and technical support needs. The contract focuses on providing comprehensive technical, administrative, and operational services across various critical domains, including cybersecurity, information assurance, command and control systems, communications, intelligence, and engineering support. Primarily serving the Research, Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM) and Program Executive Office Command Control Communications-Tactical (PEO C3T), the vehicle enables flexible, mission-critical technical services for national security and defense technology initiatives.

Task orders under the TAOSS IDIQ typically range from $5 million to $40 million, with cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing and performance periods of 12-36 months. Frequently awarded prime contractors include Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., CACI Technologies, LLC, Linquest Corporation, and Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC). Most task orders do not utilize small business set-aside designations, though a few partial small business set-asides have been observed. Common performance locations include Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland and various Department of Defense research and development facilities. The task orders consistently support specialized technical services in areas such as cybersecurity, tactical network protection, satellite communications, research and development, systems engineering, and information technology infrastructure support for military and intelligence community missions.
