ISR/IO Systems Engineering Software Development Test and Evaluation II (ISR-IO II)

This Master IDIQ, awarded by the Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command to support Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance and Information Operations (ISR/IO) systems engineering, software development, test and evaluation, ceased accepting new orders on February 9, 2017—nine years and five months ago. The vehicle has been succeeded by ISR/IO Systems Engineering Software Development Test and Evaluation III, awarded in November 2017.

The vehicle established on February 10, 2012, executed 128 delivery orders with a combined potential value of $42.6 million, of which $39.6 million (93 percent) has been obligated. Ordering momentum declined sharply in the vehicle's final years: the delivery-order rate fell from 33 orders in 2013 to just 8 orders in 2017. Recent orders span software development, configuration management, test and evaluation, and engineering support for Navy C4ISR systems including the Tactical Receive Segment, Global Command and Control System–Maritime, Joint Tactical Terminal–Maritime, and Integrated Broadcast Service platforms.

Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation dominated the vehicle, capturing 53 orders (41 percent of total) worth $15.9 million in combined potential value. The top five primes—Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics Information Technology, Leidos, Science Applications International Corporation, and Engility—held 91 percent of awarded orders and 86 percent of combined potential value. Activity remained highly concentrated among a small set of Navy customers: the Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command alone placed 73 orders (57 percent of total) valued at $28.1 million; the next-largest Navy customers, the Secretary of the Navy Office of Naval Research and Naval Sea Systems Command, together placed 14 orders worth $2.8 million. The Air Force accounted for 12 orders across two commands. All 128 orders carried no set-aside designation.

Task-order values ranged widely, from under $30,000 to approximately $3.1 million in ceiling value. Most orders employed cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing. Representative recent orders addressed software configuration management, engineering support services, test support, and platform-specific technical sustainment.

The Department of Navy, Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, Pacific (SSC Pacific) has awarded a Master IDIQ for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance and Information Operations (ISR/IO) Systems Engineering, Software Development, Test and Evaluationsupport services. SSC Pacific requires additional capability for systems acquisition support, project management, basic research, systems engineering, systems requirements analysis, planning, development, integration, testing, implementation, and life-cycle sustainment of both software and hardwaredirectly related to emerging technology, existing and emerging ISR/IOsystems, system security architecture and technology, and C4ISR systems. These programs include effort in the following areas: (1) systems engineering; (2) prototype development, emerging technology identification andinvestigation; (3) software system engineering including requirementsdefinition, technology development; integration, user training; (4) softwareconfiguration management, laboratory and field test and evaluation.
