Air Battle Management Systems Support

Awarded by the Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center, through NAWCAD Patuxent River's St. Inigoes Air Traffic Control Systems Division, the Air Battle Management Systems Support Master IDIQ covers mobile air battle management and communication-electronic support systems, with orders placeable through February 13, 2029. Ordering authority stands at 2 years 3 months, and the vehicle was established February 13, 2019. The vehicle is not set aside at the vehicle level. The source describes the incumbent as a single-award IDIQ held by Engility under N0042111D0036, but awarded orders have gone to seven primes.

Ordering momentum has slowed sharply: eight orders in 2019, then one each in 2021, 2022, and 2025, with the most recent awarded May 1, 2025. Of the $116.1 million combined potential value, $51 million (44%) has been obligated.

Task orders buy labor. The 2025 base-year labor procurement and the 2021 labor procurement both carry cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing, and the 2022 order is RDT&E labor. The scope spans the solicitation's full list of systems engineering, test and evaluation, installation, configuration management, training, and project management services for USN, USAF, USMC, and other DoD activities, though all eleven orders fund the NAVAIR Naval Air Warfare Center customer.

BAE Systems Technology Solutions & Services Inc. holds four orders totaling $105.4 million in combined potential value. J.f. Taylor, Inc. holds two orders totaling $10.7 million. Engility Services, LLC, Coherent Technical Services, Inc., and KBR Wyle Services, LLC each hold one order at $10 thousand, and two additional primes make up the remainder. Activity is concentrated by value in BAE.

Set-asides are almost entirely absent: ten of eleven orders carry no set-aside, and one December 2019 order is Total Small Business.

The largest orders are the May 2025 LSI follow-on base-year labor procurement, with a ceiling of $48,791,051.81 and $6,204,991.16 obligated through April 30, 2030, and the January 2021 labor procurement, with a ceiling of $44,452,143.55 and $30,353,125.54 obligated. Several March 2019 orders are minimum guarantees carrying $10,000 ceilings and $0 obligated after deobligation, so they do not represent typical order values.
