C4I Test Evaluation IV&V and Quality Assurance 2017-2022

The Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command awarded this Master IDIQ on June 16, 2017, to provide test and evaluation, independent verification and validation, configuration management, software quality assurance, website maintenance, and support services to Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Pacific C4I programs. Ordering closed on June 14, 2022, and the vehicle is no longer active. This vehicle succeeded a prior five-year C4I Test Evaluation IV&V and Quality Assurance contract awarded in 2011.

The vehicle issued 15 task orders between October 2017 and June 2021, generating $53.9 million in combined potential value with $48.8 million obligated (90% of ceiling). Order activity peaked in 2018 with eight awards, dropped sharply thereafter (one order in 2020, four in 2021), and ceased entirely by mid-2021. Most task orders were priced on a cost-plus-fixed-fee basis with ultimate completion dates through mid-2023, indicating work largely concluded by 2024.

King Technologies, Inc. dominates competition, holding three orders worth $28.1 million combined (52% of vehicle potential value). Tactical Engineering & Analysis, Inc. and Odme Solutions, LLC each received three orders, with combined potential values of $8.5 million and $3.9 million respectively. Assured Space Access Technologies Inc. and Home2Office Computing Solutions, Inc. rounded out the awarded contractor base with two orders each. The vehicle supported seven distinct prime contractors total, with the top five capturing 87% of task-order count and 100% of potential value.

Customer concentration was pronounced: the Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command placed 13 of 15 orders valued at $43.4 million combined (81% of vehicle potential value). The Defense Contract Management Agency and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency each funded one order ($7.9 million and $2.6 million respectively). All task orders were unrestricted competition; no set-aside designations were applied. Representative orders ranged from $10 thousand (minimum guarantee) to $13.4 million (Integration Test Facility support).
