Air Battle Management Systems Support

The Department of the Navy Naval Air Warfare Center established a single-award Master IDIQ for mobile air battle management systems and communication-electronic support systems on February 13, 2019, but ordering closed on February 12, 2024, and is no longer available for new task orders.

The vehicle was awarded to Engility and carries a shared ceiling of $235.0 million. Work encompasses operational, technical, logistical, and systems engineering support across system certification, technical assistance, systems analysis and engineering, test and evaluation, installation and maintenance, hardware design and development, configuration management, training, equipment manufacturing, quality control, and project management for the Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and other DoD activities. Performance occurs at Naval Air Warfare Center facilities in St. Inigoes, Maryland, with support to Navy customers across the service.

Eleven task orders have been awarded since March 2019, though activity has been sparse in recent years—eight orders in the first year of the vehicle's operation, followed by single orders in 2021, 2022, and most recently in May 2025. Combined task-order potential value stands at $116.1 million, with $24.2 million obligated to date (21% of combined potential).

BAE Systems Technology Solutions & Services Inc. dominates the competitive landscape, holding four task orders valued at $105.4 million in combined potential value—roughly 91% of all potential value under the vehicle. J.f. Taylor, Inc. holds two orders at $10.7 million combined potential value. Four smaller firms (Engility Services, Coherent Technical Services, and KBR Wyle Services) collectively account for the remaining $30 thousand. All orders fund Naval Air Warfare Center programs.

The vehicle is predominantly unrestricted, with 10 of 11 orders designated as no-set-aside. One small-business order was placed in December 2019. Recent task orders are cost-plus-fixed-fee arrangements. The May 2025 order to BAE Systems carries a ceiling of $48.8 million with a completion date of April 30, 2030, and obligates $4.1 million in base-year labor.
