About this vehicle

Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) awarded a Master IDIQ for software development, test and evaluation, maintenance, integration, training, and fielding in support of joint service warfighters, but ordering under the vehicle closed March 4, 2020, making this vehicle inactive for pursuit.

The vehicle was established March 4, 2015 with a shared ceiling of $99 million. Across its five-year ordering window, NAVAIR issued 15 task orders totaling $36.5 million in combined potential value, with $35.5 million (97% of potential value) already obligated. Order flow was modest and steady—roughly one order per year in 2016–2018, two in 2019, and one final award in February 2020 before the ordering deadline. The most recent task order was issued February 27, 2020.

Task orders centered on Common Control System (CCS) software development and related systems engineering work. Awarded work included CCS mission management and mission planning software for automatic identification systems, radar, and communications; technical review and analysis activities; and software development for Named activities. Four task orders used cost-plus fixed-fee pricing; the remainder were firm fixed price. Delivery orders ranged from $10,000 to approximately $12.9 million in ceiling value, with several 2015 awards being small technical reviews at $50,000 each.

The competitive landscape was concentrated among defense prime contractors. Raytheon Company held the largest combined potential value at $13.4 million across three orders, followed by Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation at $12.5 million across four orders, and DCS Corporation at $10.3 million across two orders. These three firms captured 99% of the combined potential value. Dynetics, Inc. and BAE Systems Information Solutions Inc. each received one small order at $50,000. All 15 task orders were unrestricted competitive awards. NAVAIR was the sole customer across all orders.
