About this IDV
The Data Link Enterprise (DLE) is a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery Contract vehicle established by the Electronic Systems Center (ESC), a component of the U.S. Air Force Materiel Command, with an aggregate ceiling value of $2.835 billion and completion date of January 8, 2028. BAE Systems Information and Electronic Systems Integration Inc., a subsidiary of BAE Systems PLC, was awarded as a prime contractor on January 9, 2018. The contract utilizes no set-aside designation and operates as a flexible acquisition mechanism enabling the U.S. Department of Defense to issue multiple delivery orders for advanced communication, networking, and data link technologies supporting critical military operations. As a global defense and aerospace entity, BAE Systems brings extensive capabilities in electronic systems integration, receiver-transmitter development, navigation systems, and software engineering for military communication platforms. Work is performed primarily at the contractor's facility in Wayne, New Jersey.
To date, three delivery orders have been issued under the DLE contract vehicle totaling approximately $23.8 million. These include a $17.1 million firm fixed-price delivery order for the Common Tactical Edge Network (CTEN) program awarded July 2022 with completion targeted for June 2025, which delivers advanced communication and networking technologies to support military operations; a $1.7 million order for BE-CDL Bandwidth Data Link Network Modernization awarded October 2019 focused on modernization and upgrade of bandwidth-efficient common data link network infrastructure; and a $5,000 post-award conference support delivery order issued at contract inception in January 2018. All delivery orders maintain performance locations in Wayne, New Jersey, and utilize firm fixed-price contract structures with no set-aside designations, reflecting competitive procurement practices typical of large, established defense contractors.
