Pacific Communications Division Technical and Engineering Support

The Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command established this multiple-award Master IDIQ on March 3, 2021, to provide technical and engineering support to its Pacific Communications Division, with ordering authority extending through February 25, 2027—approximately seven months remaining.

The vehicle procures a narrow, focused scope: systems engineering, test and evaluation, integrated logistics support, facilities, implementation and integration, on-site technical assistance, and security services for Navy communications platforms and networks. Task orders concentrate on satellite communications architectures (AEHF, MUOS, SATCOM systems), tactical radio networks (JMINI, TACCOMS, Digital Modular Radio), Navy Multiband Terminal variants, and emerging systems such as the Global Broadcast Service and Protected Tactical Satellite Communications ground terminals. All work is Cost Plus Fixed Fee; no orders carry set-aside designations.

Ordering momentum has slowed sharply. The vehicle issued 11 orders in 2022 and 11 again in 2024, but only 1 order in 2026 (most recent award March 10, 2026). Of $107.3 million combined potential value across 61 awards, $75.5 million (70%) has been obligated, leaving $31.8 million in remaining capacity.

Competition is moderately concentrated. Booz Allen Hamilton leads by potential value at $39.1 million across 12 orders, followed closely by Kratos Defense & Rocket Support Services at $26.3 million across 23 orders, and G 2 Software Systems at $24.8 million across 10 orders. These three firms represent roughly 70% of combined potential value. Science Applications International Corporation, Epsilon C5I, Sentar, and a smaller tail of remaining awardees round out an 11-firm field.

Customer concentration is extreme: the Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command funds 57 of 61 orders worth $103.5 million (96% of combined potential value), with minimal spillover to Air Force Defense Finance and Accounting Service, Naval Sea Systems Command, and the Defense Contract Management Agency.

Typical task-order ceilings range from $500 thousand to $3.2 million; the largest recent orders include Network Management Reference Implementation Laboratory Cyber Integration and Test III at $8.3 million ceiling (December 2024), JMINI/IW Control System Engineering Support at $5.6 million ceiling (December 2024), and a follow-on MUOS order at $3.2 million ceiling (December 2025). Durations typically span 12 to 18 months. With only one award in the past 16 months and seven months of ordering authority remaining, this vehicle is approaching saturation or wind-down.

Provides technical support to the Pacific Communications Division projects in the following areas: Management, Engineering, Test and Evaluation, Integrated Logistics Support (ILS), Facilities, Implementation/Integration, On Site Technical Assistance and Security.
