About this vehicle
The Naval Air Warfare Center established the Fielded Training Systems Support IV Master IDIQ on July 26, 2016, with a shared ceiling of $1.75 billion to provide contractor operation and maintenance services, contractor instruction services, training device modifications, relocations, systems management, engineering office support, and spares support to Navy and U.S. Marine Corps training systems and foreign military sales customers. The vehicle's ordering period closed on July 25, 2024, and is no longer accepting new task orders.
The vehicle is substantially obligated. Of the $1.27 billion combined potential value across 32 task orders, $1.1 billion (86%) has been obligated. The most recent task order was awarded July 1, 2022. Activity peaked in 2021 with seven orders, then declined to three in 2022 and no new awards since.
Awarded task orders fund contractor operations and maintenance services across specific naval aviation platforms—F/A-18 and EA-18G aircraft at multiple naval air stations and Marine Corps air stations, E-2 and E-6B platforms, Navy helo systems, maritime simulators, surface and littoral combat ship trainers, submarine training, and navigation and seamanship instruction. A few orders support foreign military sales, including P-3C training support to Taiwan. Pricing is predominantly firm fixed price with a small number of cost-plus-fixed-fee orders for labor-intensive submarine maintenance.
The prime contractor base is concentrated among five firms that capture 75% of task orders: Fidelity Technologies Corporation leads with seven orders valued at $323.4 million combined potential, followed by Valiant Global Defense Services Inc. with five orders at $286.3 million, LB & B Associates Inc. with four orders at $232.2 million, and CAE USA Inc. with four orders at $170 million. The top five primes account for 96% of combined potential value. All task orders are unrestricted, fully open competition, with no set-asides.
All 32 task orders are obligated to the Department of the Navy Naval Air Systems Command Naval Air Warfare Center; no other federal agencies have placed orders. Task order ceilings range from $1 million to approximately $166.6 million, with typical durations between two and five years. Successor vehicle Fielded Training Systems Support V followed this vehicle.
