Purchase Order N0017316P3165

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) awarded a firm fixed-price purchase order to Wind River Systems, Inc. for a Wind River subscription valued at $24.8K, with an award date of September 9, 2016 and ultimate completion date of September 30, 2016. The contract was performed in Alameda, California, where Wind River maintains its headquarters. This procurement carried no small business set-aside designation, reflecting Wind River's classification as a large business. Wind River Systems is a foreign-owned technology company specializing in embedded software solutions, real-time operating systems, development tools, and professional services for mission-critical defense and aerospace applications.

This purchase order represents a continuation of ONR's engagement with Wind River for critical software infrastructure supporting naval operations. Wind River maintains a substantial federal contracting presence across the Department of Defense, including a $500 million SEAPORT-NxG indefinite delivery vehicle contract with Naval Sea Systems Command and a $950 million Advanced Battle Management System contract with the U.S. Air Force. Wind River is owned by Intel Corporation, which has provided advanced computing solutions and high-performance computing tools to multiple federal agencies including NASA and DARPA. The subscription procurement falls within the context of the Navy's broader reliance on Wind River's VxWorks real-time operating system and related software products for enabling advanced defense capabilities across multiple naval platforms and programs.
