Naval Network Warfare Command

The Department of the Navy Naval Network Warfare Command, a sub-agency of the Navy responsible for network operations and cyber defense capability, has awarded 9,402 contracts totaling $1.18 billion in combined potential value since 1998, with $1.17 billion obligated. Recent activity has declined sharply: 288 awards in 2022, 175 in 2023, 141 in 2024, 206 in 2025, and 40 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent recorded award date is August 8, 2026.

Over the last five years, contract competition is highly fragmented by award count. Paragon Micro Inc. leads with 90 awards totaling $20.7 million in potential value, followed by Leidos, Inc. with 36 awards ($2.5 million) and Central Texas College and Carahsoft Technology Corp, each with 24 to 36 awards respectively. These five vendors by count account for 24 percent of recent awards. Competition is also highly fragmented by potential value: Science Applications International Corporation leads with $64.7 million across 16 awards, followed by Paragon Micro Inc. at $20.7 million and Advanced Technology Leaders, Inc. at $7.5 million, collectively representing only 9 percent of combined potential value. The portfolio encompasses 2,028 distinct prime contractors across its lifetime, indicating a fragmented vendor base with no dominant player by either metric.

Eighty-nine percent of awards carry no set-aside designation, reflecting standard commercial procurement. Small business awards account for 6 percent of the portfolio, with an additional 3 percent awarded as 8(a) sole-source. Service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone, and other socioeconomic set-asides each represent less than 1 percent of awards. Recent awards (last 5 years) with no reported potential value suggest significant transaction volume through Schedule task orders, BPA calls, or modifications below individual reportability thresholds.

No recent contract opportunities are recorded against the command. The steeply declining award cadence — from 288 in 2022 to 40 year-to-date in 2026 — combined with the absence of open solicitations, suggests either a consolidation in procurement strategy, a shift in work scope, or a transition in the command's contracting posture that may warrant direct engagement with the contracting office to clarify current and pipeline opportunities.
