Navigation Sensor System Interface Follow-on 2014-2020

The Naval Information Warfare Systems Command awarded a Master IDIQ for Navigation Sensor System Interface (NAVSSI) hardware on January 10, 2014, with ordering authority that closed on January 8, 2020 and is no longer active. The vehicle procures NAVSSI systems, upgrade kits, optional hardware kits, replacement parts, and spares that collect, process, integrate, and format precise navigation and timing data for Navy weapon systems, combat support systems, C4ISR systems, and other information systems.

The vehicle has fully obligated its combined potential value of $30.7 million across 85 task orders awarded between January 2014 and October 2019. Order volume declined sharply in the vehicle's final years: 2015 and 2016 each saw approximately 20 orders annually, but 2018 and 2019 combined produced only 12 orders. The ordering period closed nearly six and a half years ago.

Competition is highly concentrated. Two prime contractors hold all awarded task orders: Micro USA Inc. with 46 orders valued at $20.4 million combined potential value and Systems Engineering Support CO. with 39 orders valued at $10.4 million. Micro USA Inc. captures approximately 66 percent of the vehicle's total value.

All task orders were placed by the Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command. The set-aside mix shows 68 percent of orders designated for small business (58 orders) and 32 percent unrestricted (27 orders). Task-order values ranged from under $2,000 for individual components to approximately $1.3 million for shipset kits, with firm fixed pricing throughout. Representative recent orders procured RTS Baseline NAVSSI 4.2.4+ systems, VME chassis assemblies, FOAL antenna systems, upgrade kits for specific ship classes (DDG, CVN, LHD, LPD, LSD hull numbers appear frequently), and subordinate hardware including cables, cards, and assemblies.

This vehicle is closed to new orders and fully obligated. Its historical value lies in understanding the NAVSSI customer's procurement patterns and established prime relationships.

The Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR), in support of the Fleet Readiness Directorate (FRD), has awarded a Master IDIQ for the Navigation Sensor System Interface (NAVSSI) program. NAVSSI collects, processes, integrates and formats for distribution precise navigation and timing data to weapon systems, combat support systems, C4ISR systems and other information systems users. Contractors under this vehicle provide hardware that includes NAVSSI systems, upgrade kits, optional hardware kits, replacement parts, and spares.
