SSC LANT Architecture and Engineering Services

The Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command awarded this Master IDIQ on April 4, 2012, for enterprise requirements analysis, architecture, modeling and simulation, and Human Systems Integration across Communications/Networking, Command & Control, ISR, Information Operations, Space Systems, and Defense Information Systems. Ordering closed on April 3, 2017, and the vehicle is no longer accepting new task orders.

The vehicle is inactive and should not be pursued. The last task order was awarded in May 2016, more than ten years ago. The combined potential value across 14 task orders is only $4.4 million, with $2.3 million obligated (53% of potential). Activity dropped sharply after the first year: 11 orders were placed in 2012, followed by only one order per year in 2014, 2015, and 2016. The ordering ceiling of April 3, 2017, passed nine years ago; no new work can be placed against this vehicle.

Systems Technology Forum, LTD. dominates the award base with 4 orders totaling $3.7 million in combined potential value—84% of the vehicle's total value. Mandex Inc. received 2 orders worth $600 thousand, and Vatic Solutions LLC received 3 orders worth $30 thousand. Five additional firms appear once each with negligible value. All 14 orders are unrestricted competitive awards. All orders are placed by the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command; customer concentration is 100%.

Task orders show pricing on a Cost Plus Fixed Fee basis, with durations typically ending in 2013 or 2017. The largest award, Delivery Order N6523612D3812-0003 (May 2016), provided $1.1 million in obligated ceiling value for systems engineering and cybersecurity support to the MUOS to Legacy Gateway Component program. Earlier orders supported Navy Air Operations Command and Control and Marine Air-Ground Task Force architecture efforts. The vehicle's modest scale and early termination of activity suggest limited relevance for current pursuit; any new work would require a successor vehicle.

Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center, Atlantic (SSC LANT) has awarded a Master IDIQ to provide work in support of various Department of Navy, Department of Defense (DoD), and Federal civilian agencies to perform enterprise requirements analysis and assessments, modeling and simulation, architecture, and Human Systems Integration (HSI) in support of the following capability areas: Communications/Networking, Command & Control, Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (ISR), Information Operations (IO), Space Systems and Business Information/Defense Systems.
