NAVSUP Public Communication and Media Support Services 2017-2022

The Department of the Navy Secretary of the Navy Assistant for Administration awarded this Master IDIQ on March 1, 2017 to support Navy public affairs and communications functions, with ordering authority that closed on February 28, 2022—the vehicle is no longer available for new task orders.

The vehicle funded communications integration and strategy, media relations, community outreach, visual information systems, public affairs professional development, and public information materials production for CHINFO Headquarters and field activities. Twenty task orders were awarded across the six-year ordering window, with ordering front-loaded to 2017 (11 orders) and tapering sharply thereafter (four in 2018, then one in 2020, one in 2021, and three in 2022). The combined potential value of all task orders reached $37.9 million, with $32 million obligated (84% of potential), indicating the vehicle executed substantially but left some unexercised ceiling capacity. The most recent task order award was in June 2022, two months before the master IDIQ's ordering authority expired.

General Dynamics Information Technology, Inc. dominated by potential value, holding four orders worth $18.2 million. Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. and Vectrus Systems LLC tied at $8.6 million each across four and seven orders respectively. Media Fusion, LLC and HII Mission Technologies Corp. held the remainder. All 20 task orders were awarded competitively unrestricted; no set-asides were used. The Navy Assistant for Administration was the primary customer, placing nine orders worth $17.3 million; Naval Supply Systems Command and Defense Contract Management Agency contributed five and two orders respectively.

Task orders ranged from small studies under $100 thousand to major programs exceeding $8 million. Representative work included NAVCO outreach support ($8.1 million ceiling), USSTRATCOM digital media support ($3.7 million), and communications alignment ($5.7 million). Pricing was split between firm-fixed-price and cost-plus-fixed-fee models. Many orders that began in 2017–2018 were undefinitized at award. Task order durations typically extended one to two years from award.

The vehicle is closed to new ordering and task order execution is complete or winding down; it remains relevant only for understanding historical Navy communications services procurement patterns or legacy order administration.

The Philadelphia Office Contracting Department of NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk has awarded a Master IDIQ for support in the areas of communication integration and strategy, media relations, community outreach/relations, visual information systems and imagery marketing, Public Affairs professional and community development, capabilities integration development, Communication Information Environment management and training, and public information materials development and production for CHINFO Headquarters and its field activities.
