ATSP Overview

The Advanced Technology Support Program (ATSP) gives government organizations streamlined access to state-of-the-art technologies and engineering capability through leading defense industry resources and the engineering expertise of DMEA. ATSP provides the government with access to a broad range of technologies, capabilities, and expertise. ATSP can be used to provide the Warfighter with improved operational readiness, new capabilities, and dramatically enhanced performance through the application of advanced technologies and sophisticated engineering techniques.

ATSP3 is an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with a $4.7 Billion ceiling over a base term of 5 years, and two 5-year options. This contract is the fourth in a series of efficient and innovative IDIQ contracts that DMEA has implemented to support the highly successful Advanced Technology Support Program.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Advanced Technology Support Program

Q: What types of funding can I use on the ATSP?

A: ATSP is flexible, but the appropriation must be appropriate for the task.

Q: Can I start with a small delivery order and increase the work later?

A: Yes. The scope and dollars can be increased through either modification or additional orders.

Q: What is the pricing arrangement?

A: There are three pricing arrangements available:

• cost plus fixed fee
• firm fixed price
• time and materials.

The proper price arrangement is determined on a task-by-task basis.

Q: Should I use ATSP if I have another ongoing contract vehicle?

A: This depends on several factors. In general, however, if the task is within the scope of ATSP, most customers find ATSP to be the preferred vehicle.

Q: Can DMEA apply its engineering resources directly to the tasks?

A: DMEA has significant engineering tools that can add value to the engineering development and management of a program. The exact mix of contractor and DMEA work is determined during strategy development between DMEA and the client.

Q: Can we build production under ATSP?

A: You may build limited production units of products developed in the ATSP.
