FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MDW awarded DARPA Comptroller SETA Support Contract
October 2, 2024 – MDW Associates, LLC (MDW), an innovative professional services and data analytics solutions provider, is pleased to announce the award of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Comptroller SETA Support prime contract. The five-year, $21,753.845 contract’s period of performance is from November 18, 2024, to November 17, 2029, with a six-month option.
MDW will provide professional System Engineering and Technical Assistance (SETA) to DARPA’s Comptroller at its Arlington, VA Headquarters. DARPA’s business philosophy is to bring in expert, entrepreneurial program managers for the technical programs, empower them, protect them from red tape, and to quickly make decisions about starting, continuing or stopping research projects. MDW will be involved in resolving these complex problems by researching regulations, policies, procedures and designing solutions for processing transactions resulting from DARPA’s unique business operations process.
“I am tremendously proud of our team that supports DARPA. The selection of MDW to continue the efforts we began in 2019 show our dedication to this advanced research mission,” said Mr. Tim Wilde, MDW’s President and CEO. “Lee Dixson [MDW’s CFO] and I first met at DARPA in 1999, and along with MDW’s engagements with other technology-advanced clients, such as MDA, NASA and NSWC-Crane, truly makes this a full-circle moment.”
DARPA procured its Comptroller SETA requirement using the Washington Headquarters Services (WHS) Analytical and Technical Support Services (ATSS) multiple award indefinite-delivery /indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract. The ATSS vehicle is available to the Office of the Secretary of Defense and DoD Fourth Estate organizations to meet their support services requirements. Under the WHS ATSS IDIQ, MDW is the only company to be awarded a prime contract for both the Small Business and Unrestricted Pools. The ATSS vehicle was awarded in December 2022 with a $1.5 billion contract ceiling.
“This is an important ‘first win’ for MDW under the ATSS vehicle,” Mr. Wilde remarked. “We look forward to actively competing on other ATSS procurement opportunities and offering services and solutions to meet OSD and DoD Fourth Estate clients’ missions.”
MDW is joined on this contract by its subcontractor, Redwood Strategy Group. Redwood is Small Business Administration certified as both an 8(a) Minority-owned Disadvantaged Small Business and Economically Disadvantaged Woman-owned Small Business (EDWOSB).
