SPA Awarded the DARPA TASS IDIQ Contract
Systems Planning & Analysis (SPA), a leading global provider of advisory services in support of critical national security objectives, has secured one of the awards on the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Technical and Analytical Support Services (TASS) II multiple-award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract. TASS II has a duration of five years and an aggregate ceiling value of $1.25 billion with the mission to provide a range of high-level advisory and assistance services to all of DARPA’s technical and support offices.
The acquisition of these programs, combined with continued organic growth, enables SPA to further expand its role as a trusted advisor across the Department of Defense and the Intelligence Community. These programs will reside in SPA’s Joint, OSD, and Interagency (“JOID”) and Space & Intelligence (“S&ID”) Divisions under the leadership of Amy Mijas and Bruce Phillips, respectively. As part of SPA, these teams will continue to deliver exceptional services to a growing list of blue-chip clients, will gain access to SPA’s comprehensive portfolio of solutions and expertise, and will develop partnerships with an employee base of over 2,000 people globally. The acquisition includes over 180 subject matter experts (“SMEs”), with operations predominantly across the Washington, D.C. area.
“As SPA strategically expands our technical advisory services at DARPA, OSD SCO, and NRO, we are thrilled to integrate additional highly complementary capabilities and offerings, which further enables us to deliver specialized analytics and engineering expertise to our customers,” commented SPA CEO Rich Sawchak.
“Securing the TASS II contract will enable SPA to significantly expand our support of DARPA’s critical missions to develop advanced capabilities that contribute to U.S. military superiority and national security. We are excited to assist DARPA with leading-edge technical innovation leveraging our position as a trusted advisor committed to delivering the highest standards of quality.”
