Meteorological Oceanographic Expeditionary and Joint Systems In-Service Engineering Agent

The Meteorological Oceanographic Expeditionary and Joint Systems In-Service Engineering Agent (METOC CB-ISEA) is a Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle awarded by the Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific for comprehensive technical and logistical support of meteorological and oceanographic systems. The contract covers a wide range of engineering and support services, including technical sustainment, logistics support, sustainment engineering, modernization, software maintenance, program management, training services, and certification authority. The vehicle is designed to support worldwide operations for military meteorological and oceanographic systems, both ashore and afloat, with a focus on expeditionary and joint system requirements.

The task orders under this IDIQ have been predominantly awarded to small businesses, with Forward Slope Inc. and Odme Solutions, LLC being notable prime contractors. Typical task orders range from approximately $300,000 to $7.4 million, with performance periods spanning two to four years. The Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR) is the primary funding agency, issuing cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts for technical services, logistic support, and integrated systems engineering. None of the observed task orders utilized small business set-asides, despite the previous contract having been a total small business set-aside. The contracts consistently involve supporting meteorological and oceanographic capabilities, with security requirements at the Secret level and a focus on engineering and technical support services for naval systems.
