VT Milcom Inc. received a $10.06 million firm fixed-price delivery order from the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR) on January 23, 2024, for Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES) production units and sub-assemblies, with performance extending through August 8, 2025. The award was issued without a set-aside designation and represents work performed in Virginia Beach, Virginia, under the CANES Full Deployment Production indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract vehicle. CANES is a Major Automated Information System (MAIS) program managed by NAVWAR that consolidates and modernizes shipboard information technology networks and computing infrastructure across the U.S. Navy fleet into a single, secure enterprise architecture, improving cybersecurity, reducing system variants, and enhancing operational capabilities through integrated command, control, communications, computers, and intelligence (C4I) systems.
VT Milcom's award supports the manufacturing and delivery of hardware components and sub-assemblies essential to the CANES modernization initiative. The prime contractor engaged multiple subcontractors to fulfill the contract, including Red River Technology LLC and CDW Government LLC for computer and material supplies; Heilind Mil-Aero LLC (Interstate Connecting Components division) for electrical and fiber optic interconnect components; Govsmart Inc. for computer supplies; Cability Inc. for cable assemblies; Jonathan Engineered Solutions Corp. for precision-engineered hardware; 901 D LLC (Curtiss-Wright 901D) for ruggedized electronic components; Intrinsic First LLC for professional services; Curtiss-Wright DS Inc. for embedded computing products; and Intellipower Inc. for power management solutions. This broad subcontractor base reflects the complex integration requirements of naval communications systems modernization and demonstrates VT Milcom's role as a key system integrator within the CANES production supply chain.
