Test Evaluation and Technical Support Services (TETSS)

The United States Mission and Installation Contracting Command - Fort Hood awarded a sole source, cost-plus-fixed-fee IDIQ contract to DTESS JV LLC for Test Evaluation and Technical Support Services (TETSS). Valued at approximately 7.8 million dollars, the contract provides mission-critical support to the U.S. Army Operational Evaluation Command, specifically benefiting the Air and Missile Defense Test Directorate at Fort Bliss, Texas, and the Fires Support Test Directorate at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. The scope of work includes operational evaluation execution, data collection and analysis, instrumentation sustainment, logistics, and prototype development to ensure the Army meets statutory evaluation requirements and acquisition milestones. This award was executed under FAR 6.103-2 due to unusual and compelling urgency, as an ongoing Court of Federal Claims protest necessitated a non-competitive award to the incumbent to avoid mission disruption and personnel turbulence. The contract structure consists of a one-month base period starting April 15, 2026, with five subsequent one-month options extending through October 14, 2026. As an 8(a) program participant, the contractor must comply with specific limitations on subcontracting and provide certified cost or pricing data. Funding is provided through FY26 Research, Development, Test and Evaluation funds.
