- Fourteen companies hold base contracts under the vehicle
- The Army cites operational tempo and specialized scope in justifying a sole-source action
- Capability statements are due Oct. 1
The U.S. Army intends to raise the ordering ceiling on its Mission Training Complex Capability Support II contract by $129 million without competition, according to a notice posted on SAM.gov Sept. 16.
The Army said the increase is needed to keep mission command training running for units throughout the service. It applies to all base contracts under the multiple-award task order vehicle, which covers operational, technical, administrative and program management services that support individual and collective training.
Which Companies Hold MTCCS II Contracts?
Fourteen companies hold base contracts:
- Booz Allen Hamilton
- CSA Global
- General Dynamics Information Technology
- Northrop Grumman
- Phoenix Logistics
- Valiant Global Defense Services
- Applied Training Solutions
- Core Government Services
- Veteran’s First
- Nemean Trideum Joint Venture
- Evocati Solutions JV
- Liberty Business Solutions
- Thalin
- Gemini Technical Services
The Army awarded MTCCS II in December 2023 as a potential five-year, $975 million contract. Work was expected to conclude by Dec. 5, 2028.
Why Is the Army Skipping Competition?
The service cited statutory authority permitting a sole-source award when only one responsible source can meet agency requirements.
No other contractors could assemble the administrative infrastructure, program management staff and subject matter experts fast enough to avoid a lapse, the Army said, given the current operational tempo and the specialized nature of the work. Bringing in sources outside the existing contract holders would disrupt training already underway, according to the notice.
The Army attributed the additional need to changes in the environmental landscape and training demand, without elaborating on either.
Companies that believe they can meet the requirement may submit written capability statements by Oct. 1.
