NAVSEA ISR Technology Development 2015-2020

This vehicle is closed to new orders and no longer pursuing. The Naval Sea Systems Command established this Master IDIQ on April 27, 2015, with a shared ceiling of $49 million and a last date to order of March 16, 2020—now six years and four months past. Ordering has been closed since 2020.

The vehicle contracted design, engineering, fabrication, and test of special intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) components and systems at Technology Readiness Level 6 maturity, including engineering development models, pre-production units, and low-rate initial production for the Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division. Actual task-order activity narrowed significantly after award: 13 orders executed in 2015, but only 2 in 2016, 1 in 2017, and 2 in 2018, with the last order awarded on January 12, 2018.

Maxar Mission Solutions Inc. dominated prime activity, holding 4 orders worth $3.8 million of the $4.9 million combined task-order potential value—roughly 77% of the vehicle's economic footprint. Leidos, Inc. held the second position with 2 orders valued at $1 million, and Herrick Technology Laboratories Inc. held 2 orders for $151 thousand. Nine other contractors shared the remaining awards. The 14 distinct prime contractors suggest a competitive environment, but work concentrated heavily in one firm.

Customer distribution was narrow: Naval Sea Systems Command placed 15 of 18 orders totaling $1.8 million, the Office of the Secretary of Defense placed 2 orders for $2.1 million, and DOD Washington Headquarters Service placed 1 order for $1.1 million. All task orders were unrestricted (no set-asides). Recent task orders included software development (MOSAIC 2.0 enhancement at $1.055 million, software-defined radio work at $151 thousand), systems engineering and design work ($1.617 million), data fusion efforts ($1.099 million), and research into persona fusion ($999 thousand). The vehicle obligated all $4.9 million of its combined potential value; $49 million of the shared ceiling remained unobligated at close.

Master IDIQ for the design, engineering, fabrication, and test of special intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) components and systems that have met Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 6 maturity for the Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division. Work under this vehicle shall include provision of engineering development models (EDM), pre-production units (PPU), and low rate initial production (LRIP). System EDMs, PPUs, and LRIPs are designed, engineered, fabricated, and tested to satisfy individual requirements.
