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

The Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command awarded a Master IDIQ for ISR/IO Systems Engineering, Software Development, Test and Evaluation on November 30, 2017; ordering closed on November 28, 2022, and this vehicle is no longer active. The vehicle succeeded ISR/IO II (awarded February 2012) and contracted systems engineering, software development and design, configuration management, test and evaluation, prototype development, logistics support, and life cycle support for mission-critical intelligence and information operations systems.

The vehicle generated 33 task orders with a combined potential value of $43.9 million, of which $29.4 million has been obligated (67 percent). Ordering activity peaked early: 13 orders in 2018 and 9 in 2019, then declined sharply to 4 orders in 2020, 2 in 2021, and 1 in 2022. The most recent task order was awarded in June 2022. All 33 orders used unrestricted competitive procurement; no set-asides were applied.

Five primes shared the award base. Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation and Scientific Research Corporation held the largest combined potential values at $11.1 million and $13.9 million respectively across 9 and 3 orders. Science Applications International Corporation earned 12 orders totaling $9.1 million potential value, Peraton Inc. won 8 orders for $9.7 million, and BAE Systems Information And Electronic Systems Integration Inc. received 1 order valued at $25 thousand. Concentration was moderate: the top two primes by potential value held roughly 57 percent of combined value.

Work was heavily Navy-concentrated. The Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command placed 19 of 26 visible orders (58 percent of the portfolio) valued at $25.8 million potential. The Office of Naval Intelligence issued 3 orders at $2.6 million, Naval Supply Systems Command 1 order at $5.1 million, and Naval Facilities Engineering Command 1 order at $1.3 million. Army and Coast Guard programs appeared sporadically across the remaining 7 orders. Most recent task orders reflect narrow technical domains: tactical receiver software services, cyber situational awareness engineering, ballistic missile defense support, and NANOSAT development. All orders used cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing. Individual task-order ceilings typically ranged from $280 thousand to $8.9 million, with the largest being a Philippine services delivery at $8.9 million ceiling.

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 Evaluation support services. SSC Pacific requires contractor expertise in systems engineering, software development, project administration, and program management in support of the design, development, integration, test and evaluation, user training, and life cycle support of mission-critical systems and their supporting technologies. These programs include effort in the following areas: (1) systems engineering; (2) prototype development and logistics support; (3) software system engineering, design and development; (4) software configuration management, test and evaluation; and (5) software engineering approach.
