C4I Software Support Activity II (C4I-SSA)

The Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command awarded a Master IDIQ for system integration and operational support of Navy C4I programs on December 23, 2011, with ordering authority ending December 22, 2016—a vehicle now closed to new orders for over nine years. This is a follow-on to C4I Software Support Activity I (awarded March 10, 2006) and was succeeded by C4I Software Support Activity III (awarded September 28, 2016).

The vehicle is no longer active. Ordering closed in December 2016, and the most recent task order award dates to June 2016. The 61 task orders issued under the vehicle generated $49.6 million in combined potential value, with $49.4 million obligated (99% of capacity). Award activity peaked early: 22 orders in 2012 and 20 in 2013, declining sharply to just 3 orders by 2016.

Scope centered on maritime command-and-control system integration, maintenance, and operational support. Awarded work included integration, testing, and installation for the Global Command and Control System-Maritime (GCCS-M), GCCS-Joint (GCCS-J), and GCCS-I3; Theater Battle Management Core System (TBMCS) training and fielding; Navy Air Operations Command and Control (NAOC2) system support; and Combat Survivor Evader Locator (CSEL) UHF base station sustainment. Most orders used cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing.

Scientific Research Corporation dominated by value, holding 11 orders worth $20 million (40% of combined potential value). Engility LLC followed with 14 orders valued at $13 million. Syzygy Technologies, Inc. led by order count with 18 awards but only $6.1 million in value. These three firms and Stanley Associates captured 84% of task orders; the remaining six primes split $3.3 million.

The Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command placed 46 of 61 orders worth $43 million (87% of total value), heavily concentrating customer funding. Fleet Cyber Command, Marine Corps, Defense Contract Management Agency, and Air Force Materiel Command accounted for the remainder in small shares.

All 61 orders were unrestricted (no set-aside designations). Task order values ranged widely, from $25 thousand to $5.7 million, with typical durations under two years. The largest single award was Delivery Order N6600112D0014-0011 (GCCS-M/J integration maintenance and site support) at $5.7 million ceiling.
