SATCOM RF and Navigation Systems Support

The Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command awarded a Master IDIQ on July 21, 2014, for shipboard and shore technical, sustainment, and maintenance of satellite communications systems including Military Satellite Communications (MILSATCOM), Commercial Satellite Communications (COMSATCOM), and Tactical Satellite Communications (TACSATCOM), with support for management, engineering, technical, quality assurance, integrated logistics support, training, and fabrication. The vehicle's ordering period closed on July 19, 2019, and no new task orders may be placed.

The vehicle has completed its lifecycle. Seventeen task orders were awarded between August 2014 and April 2019, with ordering momentum declining sharply after 2016 (six orders in 2015, five in 2016, then one, two, and one in the subsequent three years). The combined potential value across all task orders is $31.4 million, with $25.7 million obligated (82% of potential value). Most recent orders completed between 2018 and 2021; the vehicle is no longer active for new work.

Alutiiq Pacific, LLC dominates the competitive field, holding twelve of seventeen orders worth $30.3 million combined potential value—approximately 96% of the vehicle's potential. Indus Technology Inc. holds three orders worth $1 million, with Client Solution Architects LLC and Systems Technology Forum, LTD. each holding a single micro-order of $4 thousand and $33 thousand respectively. All task orders funded a single customer: the Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command.

The set-aside mix split nearly evenly between unrestricted awards (nine orders, 53%) and small-business set-asides (eight orders, 47%). Task orders ranged from $4.4 thousand to $8.2 million in ceiling value, with the largest order (N6600114D0035-N6600118F0442) carrying an $8.2 million ceiling for SATCOM, RF, and navigation system support. Most orders were priced on a cost-plus-fixed-fee basis with typical durations of one to three years. All work appears to have been performed for Navy programs, with no geographic diversity noted across the task-order portfolio.

The Department of the Navy, Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, San Diego (SSC Pacific) has awarded a Master IDIQ for shipboard and shore technical, sustainment and maintenance of satellite communications systems such as Military Satellite Communications (MILSATCOM), Commercial Satellite Communications (COMSATCOM) and Tactical Satellite Communications (TACSATCOM), including Management, Engineering, Technical, Quality Assurance, Integrated Logistics Support (ILS), Training Support, and Fabrication Support.
