Enterprise Sustainment Management System (E-SMS) Universal Cost Assembly Development Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contract

Summary (Newest Update)

Background The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL) is issuing solicitation number W9132T26RA003 as a request for proposal (RFP) for the development of the Micro-Computer Aided Cost Estimating System 2nd Generation (MII) project item assemblies and associated data artifacts. This initiative supports the Enterprise-Sustainment Management System (E-SMS) program, which aims to consolidate various sustainment management applications into a single cloud-based platform. The contract is set aside for small business concerns and will utilize a Single Award Task Order Contract (SATOC), Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) vehicle over a five-year ordering period. Work Details The contractor is required to provide cost development services to create MII project item assemblies and associated data artifacts. These deliverables will be utilized to assess and model costs related to component repair, replacement, and preventive maintenance services across seven different types of cost estimating tasks. Specific requirements will be detailed in separate Performance Work Statements (PWS) incorporated into each task order issued under the IDIQ contract. The contractor must ensure that all assemblies are updated annually using labor, material, and equipment cost data from the Tri-Service Automated Cost Engineering System (TRACES) MII Cost Book. The work will involve generating unit price cost estimates for various facility asset components, ensuring that accurate and up-to-date costs are available as new domains are integrated into E-SMS. Place of Performance The work will be conducted at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Construction Engineering Research Laboratory located at 2902 Newmark Drive, P.O. Box 9005, Champaign, IL 61826-9005, United States. Incumbent Analysis (see Incumbents section for more detail) This opportunity appears to have a confirmed incumbent based on contract W9132T25CA012 awarded to Axias for $265,000 (09/30/25–07/13/26). That prior award required use of the Micro-Computer Aided Cost Estimating System (MCACES) Second Generation (MII) cost estimating application to develop project item assemblies associated with asset component replacement actions. The current requirement similarly focuses on developing MII project item assemblies and associated data artifacts for E-SMS, indicating the work is likely a continuation of the same cost-estimating application and assembly development effort.
