Navy Surface Ship Radar Systems 2015-2020

The Department of the Navy Naval Supply Systems Command established this Master IDIQ on December 10, 2015, to procure rebuild services for three types of cross-field amplifier electron tubes critical to the AN-SPY-1 Radar System mounted on Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers and Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruisers. The ordering period closed on December 10, 2020, and this vehicle is no longer accepting new orders.

The vehicle executed 18 delivery orders over five years, with peak activity in 2019 (six orders). The combined potential value reached $54.4 million, and 100 percent of that value has been obligated. The most recent task order was awarded on September 2, 2020. All orders carry firm fixed price pricing with no set-asides applied.

Competition is evenly split between two primes. Stellant Systems Inc. holds nine orders valued at $27.5 million combined potential value, while CPI Electron Device Business, Inc. holds nine orders valued at $26.9 million combined potential value. No other contractors hold awards under the vehicle.

Customer concentration is high: Naval Supply Systems Command placed 17 of 18 orders totaling $49.2 million combined potential value, while the Defense Contract Management Agency placed a single order worth $5.2 million. Task order values cluster in the $4 million to $7.8 million range, with durations typically running twelve to twenty-four months. The largest single order, awarded to CPI Electron Device Business, Inc. on March 13, 2018, reached $7.8 million and carried a completion date of May 31, 2019. The second-largest order, awarded to Stellant Systems Inc. on September 19, 2019, was valued at $5.2 million with completion scheduled for January 25, 2024. Smaller orders ranged from approximately $600,000 to $700,000.

Master IDIQ for the rebuild of three types of electron microwave tubes: 1. Double Duty Cross-Field Amplifier electron tube; 2. Water Cooled Vane Cross-Field Amplifier electron tube; and 3. Single Duty Cross-Field Amplifier electron tube. These tubes are a critical component in the AN-SPY-1 Radar System used on Navy AEGIS surface ships, i.e. both the Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers and Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruisers.
