COTS Command and Control Equipment and Incidental Services (C2 Equipment)

The Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command awarded this Master IDIQ on June 29, 2016, with a shared ceiling of $750 million and a last date to order of April 3, 2022—the vehicle is no longer accepting orders. This follow-on to the predecessor COTS Command and Control Support Equipment vehicle contracted commercial off-the-shelf command and control equipment, software and hardware licenses, maintenance, warranties, and incidental support not available through mandatory sources.

The vehicle closed to new orders over four years ago and is now in runout execution. The portfolio reflects declining activity: 563 orders in 2018 declined to just eight orders by 2022, with the most recent task order awarded March 29, 2022. Of the combined task-order potential value of $671.3 million, $661.7 million—99 percent—has already been obligated, leaving minimal available capacity.

Task orders across the 1,615 awards funded communications equipment, videoconferencing materials, networking hardware, software renewals, spare parts, and C4I system upgrades. Recent orders show typical values ranging from $17,000 to $2 million, with firm-fixed-price awards. Notable mega-orders include delivery order N6523616D4813-N6523621F0947 at $2.02 million for part-number changes and N6523616D4802-N6523621F0390 at $1.49 million for tactical-mobile equipment.

Advanced Computer Concepts, Inc. leads by order count with 322 awards totaling $144.8 million in potential value, followed by Scientific Research Corporation (228 orders, $123.5 million) and New TECH Solutions, Inc. (230 orders, $81.7 million). These three firms and Fcn, Inc. and Igov Technologies, Inc. collectively represent 69 percent of combined potential value across 21 distinct primes. No set-aside restrictions applied; all 1,611 task orders were unrestricted competitive awards.

The Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command placed 1,273 orders valued at $514.2 million, representing 79 percent of all task-order activity. Naval Sea Systems Command, Naval Supply Systems Command, and the Marine Corps accounted for most of the remaining 22 percent, while 33 distinct customer agencies funded orders overall.

Pursuing work under this vehicle is not viable. The vehicle is closed to ordering and nearly fully obligated. Any remaining capacity would be negligible and subject to post-award competition only through existing awardees.

Space and Naval Warfare Systems (SPAWAR) Center Atlantic intends to issue a Request for Proposal for the procurement of Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Command and Control (C2) equipment, software and hardware licenses/maintenance associated with COTS Equipment not available via mandatory sources, renewals for software and hardware licenses/maintenance not available via mandatory sources, warranties, and incidental support. This is a follow-on contract to the COTS C2 Mission Area Supply MAC.
