The Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES) is a Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle awarded by the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) on behalf of the Program Executive Office - Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (PEO-C4I). The primary objective of the CANES program is to provide a secure, consolidated, and modernized network infrastructure for naval and joint operations. It aims to reduce the number of disparate afloat networks by implementing a Common Computing Environment (CCE), mature cross-domain technologies, and reduce infrastructure footprint, logistics, sustainment, and training costs while increasing reliability, security, interoperability, and application hosting capabilities for warfighters.

The task orders under this IDIQ predominantly focus on delivering afloat networks, network equipment, and related services, with ceiling values typically ranging from $2 million to $25 million and performance periods averaging 12-24 months. The prime contractors consistently include Serco Inc., BAE Systems Technology Solutions & Services, Laurel Technologies Partnership (DRS Laurel Technologies), and Management Services Group (Global Technical Systems). These task orders are consistently awarded by the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command, with no specific small business set-aside designations. Subcontractors frequently include technology providers like CDW Government LLC, Crystal Group Inc., Sirius Federal LLC, and various electronics and networking component manufacturers. Performance locations are primarily concentrated in California (San Diego, Summerville) and Pennsylvania (Johnstown), with a firm fixed-price contract type being standard across all observed task orders.
