The Washington Headquarters Services plans to issue $420 million in modifications under a previously awarded $496 million small business set-aside contracting vehicle for support services to the Pentagon’s Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering.
American Systems, Applied Research and Associates and Modern Technology Solutions Inc. were awarded positions on the Research, Development, Test & Evaluation, Engineering and Technical Support contract, also known as RETS, in November 2020.
In a special notice posted Thursday, WHS said the forthcoming modification awards will cover the remaining ordering period of the multiple-award contract and increase the maximum value from $496 million to $916 million.
The possible ceiling increase will not extend the performance period of the contract beyond the current Nov. 19, 2025 completion date, the agency noted.
