Network-Centric Solutions II (NETCENTS II)

The Network-Centric Solutions II (NETCENTS II) is an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle administered by the Air Force, designed to provide comprehensive network-centric information technology solutions to the Department of Defense and other federal agencies. The contract facilitates the procurement of networking equipment, products, system engineering, installation, integration, operations, and maintenance services for standardized networking solutions. Its primary objective is to support interoperable technical architectures across Air Force, Joint, and Department of Defense network environments, enabling agencies to acquire advanced technological capabilities through a pre-competed contract vehicle.

Task orders under this contract demonstrate a wide range of network and telecommunications infrastructure projects, typically ranging from $10,000 to $9 million in value with performance periods spanning several months to three years. Prime contractors frequently include Telos Corporation, American Systems Corporation, EPS Corporation, Abacus Technology Corporation, and Black Box Network Services, with a mix of small business and large business awardees. The vast majority of task orders are firm fixed-price contracts, predominantly issued by the Air Force Materiel Command, Air Education and Training Command, and Air Force Special Operations Command. Common project scopes include fiber optic cable installations, network infrastructure upgrades, Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) migrations, premise wiring, cybersecurity services, and communication system support. While many contracts have no set-aside designation, a significant number are designated for total small business participation, and performance locations span multiple Air Force bases across the United States and even some international locations like Germany.
