C4I Technology and Engineering Support 2012-2017

The Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command awarded a Master IDIQ for C4I technology and engineering support with a combined potential value of $72.8 million, but ordering closed on February 14, 2017, more than nine years ago. The vehicle is no longer available for new task-order awards; it was succeeded by C4I Engineering and Technical Support 2018, which launched in November 2017.

During its five-year ordering window from February 2012 through February 2017, the vehicle generated 122 task orders with $66 million obligated (91% of combined potential value). Annual ordering averaged 20–25 orders per year from 2013 through 2016, declining to five orders in 2017 as the vehicle wound down. Leidos Inc. captured 98 orders worth $66 million in combined potential value, while General Dynamics Information Technology, Inc. took 24 orders worth $6.8 million, giving Leidos roughly 91% of the vehicle's activity. All 122 task orders carried no set-aside designation.

Work funded primarily by the Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command accounted for 114 orders and $71.1 million in potential value (97% of activity), with minimal spill to the Air Force Materiel Command, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, Navy Administration, and the Defense Contract Management Agency. Task orders supported software engineering, systems engineering, modeling and simulation, installation and testing, and integrated logistics for Navy communications, information technology, and Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) systems. Awarded work included engineering support for Low Band Universal Communications System (LBUCS) variants, Submarine Low Frequency/Very Low Frequency VMEBUS Receiver (SLVR), Nuclear Command Control and Communications (NC3) systems, Navy Enterprise Networks, and messaging platforms. All awards were cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery orders with typical durations of 12 months and task-order ceiling values ranging from approximately $75 thousand to $4 million, with notable larger awards to Leidos for NC3 support services ($2.5 million), Enterprise Communications Technical Assistance Platform ($6.5 million), and NC3 Engineering Services ($4 million).

The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, Pacific (SSC Pacific) has awarded a Master IDIQ for the Enterprise Communication and Networks Division (Code55300). Requirements include technology insertion, software and systemsengineering, modeling and simulation, installation and testing, and integratedlogistics in support of communications, information technology, and other Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) efforts.
