The C4I Integrated International Solutions (CIIS) 2015-2020 Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is a comprehensive vehicle awarded by the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) for designing, procuring, and installing Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) systems in foreign nations. The contract supports international security cooperation efforts, primarily focusing on maritime surveillance, coastal security, and communication infrastructure upgrades. Contractors under this vehicle are required to utilize Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) and Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) to meet unique C4I requirements for partner nations across multiple geographic regions, including countries in Africa, the Western Pacific, Middle East, and Southeast Asia.

Task orders under this IDIQ consistently involve maritime domain awareness, communication system upgrades, and partner network support services, with typical contract values ranging from approximately $400,000 to $30 million. Two primary prime contractors, Forward Slope Inc. and Cambridge International Systems Inc., have been awarded multiple task orders, with the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR) serving as the primary funding agency. The delivery orders predominantly support Foreign Military Sales (FMS) cases, involving installation, testing, training, and technical refresh of C4I systems in countries such as Azerbaijan, Malaysia, Taiwan, Jordan, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and the Philippines. Most task orders have performance periods between two to three years, are not set aside for specific small business categories, and utilize various pricing mechanisms including firm fixed price, cost-plus-fixed-fee, and cost-no-fee contract types.
