The Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command awarded this Master IDIQ for C4ISR engineering support services on August 21, 2014, with a last date to order of August 19, 2019—now closed for over six years. The vehicle is no longer active; ordering ended in 2019, and the most recent task order was awarded December 23, 2019.

The vehicle contracted standards engineering and analysis, tactical data link (TDL) certification testing, configuration management of tactical information design standards, architecture engineering and analysis services, fleet support engineering, and Network Design Facility operation. Awarded work centers on TDL interoperability and standards conformance certification testing across Navy platforms (AEGIS variants, P-8A, Littoral Combat Ship, DDG-1000, F/A-18, MH-60, E-2D) and joint systems (GCCS-I3, Global Command and Control System–Joint, Joint Targeting Toolbox). Significant orders also funded identity and access management solutions, Message Implementation Plan development, and technical support for Multi-Theater Missile Defense Battle Management C4I working groups.

Data Intelligence LLC dominated the vehicle with 68 of 90 total task orders and $8.4 million in combined potential value (51% of the vehicle total). Tactical Engineering & Analysis, Inc. captured 20 orders and $7.9 million (48%); Enhanced Veterans Solutions, Inc. held 2 orders and $191 thousand. The Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command placed 31 orders ($5.9 million), followed by Naval Sea Systems Command (30 orders, $2.9 million) and Naval Air Systems Command (14 orders, $1.4 million). Air Force Materiel Command Electronic Systems Center accounted for 3 orders ($2.5 million). About 57% of task orders carried small-business set-asides; the remainder were unrestricted.

The vehicle generated $16.4 million in combined potential value with $14.5 million obligated (88% utilization). Task orders ranged from $3.4 thousand to $2.9 million, with a majority in the $10 thousand to $300 thousand band. Peak ordering occurred in 2015 and 2016 at 20 orders per year; activity declined to 15–16 orders annually in 2017–2019. All work used Cost Plus Fixed Fee pricing.

The Department of the Navy, Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Pacific (SSC Pacific) has awarded a Master IDIQ for engineering support services work for standards engineering and analysis, test support, configuration management of tactical information design standards, architecture engineering and analysis services, fleet support engineering services, and Network Design Facility (NDF) operation to ensure interfacing Navy, Joint Service, and Allied Nations air, surface, subsurface and land Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (C4ISR) systems are interoperable.
