About this vehicle
The Naval Air Warfare Center awarded this Master IDIQ for Combat Environment Instrumentation Systems on March 30, 2017, with ordering closing on March 28, 2022 — this vehicle is no longer available for new task orders. A successor vehicle, Combat Environment Instrumentation Systems II, was awarded March 29, 2023.
The vehicle contracted time-space-position information (TSPI) instrumentation, infrared countermeasures and warning systems, electronic warfare pods, and unmanned threats and targets. Orders heavily emphasized GPS-based range instrumentation equipment (GPS-BRIE) across multiple test ranges — China Lake, Point Mugu, Eglin AFB, Edwards AFB, Hill AFB, and others — alongside airborne threat simulation instrumentation, marine air-ground task force networking gateway systems, and AIM-9M missile instrumentation. Nearly all orders were cost-plus-fixed-fee structures.
Competition consolidated sharply. Dynetics, Inc. dominated the vehicle with 11 orders totaling $91.9 million in combined potential value, while Kranze Technology Solutions Inc. captured 4 orders worth $88.3 million. Together these two primes held roughly 98 percent of combined potential value. Five additional contractors — New Directions Technologies, Nu Waves LTD., Science Applications International Corporation, and Leidos — split the remaining $10.2 million across just five orders. All 22 task orders were unrestricted competitive awards; no set-asides were used.
The Naval Air Warfare Center was the sole customer across all 22 orders. Ordering momentum concentrated early: 19 orders in 2017 (the vehicle's first year), then 2 in 2018, and 1 in 2020, with no further awards before the ordering period closed. The vehicle's combined task-order potential value was $190.4 million, with $179.3 million already obligated (94 percent), indicating near-complete spending before the March 2022 order deadline.
For vendors now evaluating successor vehicles, note that this IDIQ's customer base, competitive structure, and instrumentation scope anchored Naval Air Warfare Center test-range modernization during 2017–2020, with Dynetics and Kranze as the sustained prime contractors.
