CNAF Engineering Maintenance Support 2010-2017

The Naval Air Systems Command awarded this Master IDIQ to provide engineering, technical, and maintenance support services for U.S. Navy aircraft carriers and battle group support vessels, with orders closing May 31, 2017—the vehicle is no longer active for new task orders.

The vehicle is fully expired. Ordering closed over nine years ago, and all 121 task orders awarded under the vehicle have been completed or are long past their performance periods, which typically concluded between 2013 and 2018. No new work can be pursued under this vehicle.

The scope centered on engineering maintenance services (EMS) supporting aircraft carrier maintenance and modernization advance planning, work package development and integration, and execution. Task orders covered carrier auxiliary systems engineering, test measurement and diagnostic equipment readiness assessment, inactive fleet support, and baseline management and systems engineering. Most orders were Cost Plus Fixed Fee; a smaller subset used Cost No Fee. Recent task orders in 2017 ranged from approximately $8,000 to $1.9 million in ceiling value, with typical durations of 3 to 12 months.

Only two prime contractors received awards under the vehicle, representing an extremely concentrated competitive base. HII Fleet Support Group LLC captured 65 orders valued at $30.5 million combined potential value, while Gryphon Technologies, L.C. received 56 orders valued at $27.8 million—these two firms split the entire vehicle 52/48 by order count. Combined potential value across all 121 orders totaled $58.3 million, with $58.2 million obligated (100% of the vehicle's capacity).

Customer activity was dominated by Pacific Fleet Forces, which placed 48 orders worth $21.6 million, followed by Atlantic Fleet Forces Command with 33 orders worth $16.4 million and Naval Air Systems Command with 32 orders worth $13.1 million. These three customers accounted for the vast majority of ordering activity. The remaining two customers—Naval Sea Systems Command and Naval Supply Systems Command—placed only eight orders combined.

All 121 task orders carried no set-aside designation; the vehicle was unrestricted throughout its lifecycle. Ordering momentum peaked in 2016 with 29 orders, declining to 13 in 2017 before the vehicle closed.

Master IDIQ for engineering, technical, and maintenance support services including, but not limited to providing for U.S. Navy Aircraft Carriers and Battle Group Support vessels as required by the Commander Naval Air Forces (CNAF). These services accomplish aircraft carrier maintenance and modernization advance planning, work package development and integration, and work package execution.
