The Software and System Engineering Services Next Generation (SSES NEXGEN) is an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle established by the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM) to acquire scientific, systems engineering, and software engineering technical services. The primary objective of this multiple-award contract is to support the life cycle activities of CECOM's Software Engineering Center (SEC), including software systems and services across various directorates such as Command, Control, Communications Tactical (C3T), Intelligence Electronic Warfare & Sensors (IEW&S), and Enterprise Solutions. The contract vehicle enables the Army to procure comprehensive software engineering, technical support, and sustainment services through task orders issued to multiple prime contractors.

Task orders under SSES NEXGEN predominantly focus on software support, engineering services, and technical infrastructure across defense and tactical systems. Key contractors frequently include ManTech Advanced Systems International, Leidos, CACI Technologies, Northrop Grumman, and Logistics Systems Incorporated. Most task orders are cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts ranging from approximately $5 million to $209 million, with performance periods typically spanning 12-60 months. The majority of task orders are not set aside for small businesses, indicating full and open competition. Common areas of support include post-deployment software sustainment, systems integration, cybersecurity, information assurance, tactical communications systems support, and enterprise infrastructure services. Performance locations are predominantly at military installations such as Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, and Fort Lee, Virginia, with the primary funding agency being the U.S. Army Communications-Electronics Command.
