Navigation Sensor System Interface Follow-on 2014-2020

The Navigation Sensor System Interface (NAVSSI) Follow-on 2014-2020 is a Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract awarded by the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) in support of the Fleet Readiness Directorate (FRD). The contract focuses on collecting, processing, integrating, and distributing precise navigation and timing data for weapon systems, combat support systems, C4ISR systems, and other information system users. Contractors under this vehicle provide hardware components including NAVSSI systems, upgrade kits, optional hardware kits, replacement parts, and spares for naval electronic and communication infrastructure.

The task orders under this IDIQ predominantly support naval vessel modernization and upgrade efforts, with delivery orders ranging from approximately $20,000 to $1.2 million. Two primary contractors, Micro USA Inc. and Systems Engineering Support CO. (Sesco), consistently won task orders, both qualifying as small businesses. The majority of task orders were set aside for small businesses, with some unrestricted awards, and focused on upgrades for specific naval platforms including Aegis destroyers (DDG), amphibious assault ships (LHD), National Security Cutters (NSC), and various naval communication systems. The work consistently involved delivering electronic components, system upgrade kits, VME chassis, circuit cards, and navigation system baseline configurations. The Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command was the primary funding agency, with task orders typically having performance periods between 6-18 months.
