Intelligence Exploitation and Targeting Systems (IETS)

Naval Air Warfare Center established this Master IDIQ on January 26, 2015, to procure Intelligence Exploitation and Targeting Systems (IETS) and related software, systems engineering, and support services for intelligence personnel across the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps. The vehicle is no longer active; ordering closed on January 7, 2020, and the last task order was awarded July 7, 2020.

The work spans IETS prototype development, Common Geo-positioning Services (CGS) software updates, system integration and testing, image exploitation, target mensuration, and sustaining engineering. Task orders have funded both hardware and software deliverables as well as analysis reports supporting requirements definition for future CGS-based systems. All 20 awarded task orders are unrestricted, competitive procurements with no set-asides.

BAE Systems National Security Solutions dominates the vehicle, holding 13 of 20 awards representing $29.9 million of the $32.1 million combined potential value. BAE Systems Information Solutions holds 5 orders worth $2.1 million, and Information Systems Laboratories holds 2 orders worth $42 thousand. Ordering activity peaked in 2017 with 4 awards, declining to 2 awards in both 2019 and 2020.

Approximately 95% of orders funded Navy Air Warfare Center operations, with a single $2 million order to Navy Sea Systems Command. The vehicle ceiling is $47.3 million; task orders have obligated $25.7 million (80% of combined potential value across the 20 awards), indicating approximately $6.4 million in the shared ceiling remains unobligated but unavailable since ordering has closed.

Task orders employ Cost Plus Fixed Fee pricing with typical ceilings ranging from under $40 thousand to approximately $8 million. The most recent final order (July 7, 2020) carried a $7.9 million ceiling with $2.9 million obligated at that time. Most task orders completed within 12 to 24 months of award.

The Mission Engineering and Interoperability (MEI) Division in the Systems Engineering Department of the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) manages the Joint Common Geo-positioning Services Project (CGSP) Team, which investigates, analyzes, defines, and documents requirements for current Intelligence Exploitation and Targeting Systems (IETS) capability requirements. The CGSP provides the core CGS software and system capabilities required for accurate geo-location, image exploitation, precise target point mensuration, and targeting product generation for intelligence personnel in operational units and command centers of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines Corps.
