Combat Environment Instrumentation Systems II

The Combat Environment Instrumentation Systems II (CEIS II) is a multiple-award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle awarded by the Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division to support advanced instrumentation and systems for military test and evaluation environments. The contract focuses on developing, fabricating, upgrading, and procuring hardware and software systems for Department of Defense test ranges, with an emphasis on GPS-based instrumentation, communication systems, countermeasure technologies, and network-centric warfare capabilities. The vehicle enables the Navy to acquire sophisticated range instrumentation equipment and associated engineering services to support critical testing and evaluation programs for aircraft, weapons systems, and other defense platforms.

Recent task orders under this contract vehicle demonstrate a consistent focus on Global Positioning System (GPS)-based range instrumentation equipment, predominantly awarded to contractors like EWA Triad, LLC and Kranze Technology Solutions Inc. Delivery orders typically range from $2,500 minimum guarantee orders to substantial contracts approaching $15 million, with consistent cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing structures and performance periods extending to February 2029. The task orders support multiple test and evaluation facilities including the Atlantic Test Range, China Lake, Edwards Air Force Base, Eglin Air Force Base, Hill Air Force Base, Nevada Test and Training Range, Point Mugu, and White Sands Test Center. None of the task orders examined featured specific small business set-aside designations, indicating open competition among qualified defense technology contractors. Most task orders are funded by the Naval Air Systems Command and performed at various Department of Defense facilities across the United States.
