NIEF Production Support Services

The NIEF Production Support Services Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, awarded by the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, Pacific (SSC Pacific), provides comprehensive production support services for the Networks Integration and Engineering Facility (NIEF). The contract covers a range of technical support activities, including production management, integration and fabrication support, system and component procurement, and general production services for the Department of Defense and other federal agencies. Specifically focused on C4I (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence), electronic, and computer systems, this master IDIQ vehicle enables rapid deployment of technical production capabilities across various naval and military platforms.

The task orders under this IDIQ predominantly involve the production and integration of advanced naval communication and network systems, with a strong focus on Command & Control Processor (C2P) systems, Automated Digital Network Systems (ADNS), and Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES). Prime contractors Serco Inc. and Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) have been the primary recipients of delivery orders, typically ranging from $100,000 to $5 million, with performance periods spanning 6-24 months. The majority of task orders are cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts funded by the Naval Information Warfare Systems Command, with work primarily performed in San Diego, California. These orders support various naval platforms including submarines, destroyers, littoral combat ships, and aircraft carriers, and frequently involve the procurement of specialized electronic equipment, operating system licenses, and integration kits. Notably, none of the task orders utilized small business set-aside designations, indicating these were competed on an unrestricted basis.
