SSC LANT Battlespace Awareness Support

The Naval Information Warfare Systems Command established a Master IDIQ for Battlespace Awareness Support Services on August 16, 2012, with a combined potential value of $486.1 million across 127 task orders; ordering closed on December 11, 2018, and the vehicle is no longer active for new awards.

The vehicle funded full-system lifecycle support—research, development, test, evaluation, production, and fielding—for C5ISR, Information Operations, Enterprise Information Services, and Space capabilities across naval, joint, and national agencies. Task orders tracked across awarded work span systems engineering, integrated logistics support, software development and maintenance, configuration management, cybersecurity, and technical program management for fielded platforms including Ships Signals Exploitation Equipment (SSEE) Increments E and F, Distributed Common Ground System Navy (DCGS-N), Joint Threat Warning System (JTWS), Automatic Identification System (AIS), and related intelligence and surveillance systems. Work pricing was predominantly Cost Plus Fixed Fee.

Scientific Research Corporation dominates the competitive landscape, holding 41 of the 127 orders with $193 million combined potential value; Dlh LLC ranks second with 34 orders totaling $70.9 million, and Leidos holds 11 orders valued at $121.8 million. The top three primes account for roughly 80 percent of order count. Eighteen distinct primes shared awards across the vehicle's life.

The Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command placed 112 of 127 orders (88 percent), representing $406.5 million in combined potential value. The United States Marine Corps accounted for 11 orders worth $52.6 million. Customer concentration is tight; Navy organizations funded approximately 88 percent of all work.

Task orders were 72 percent unrestricted competitive, with 26 percent designated Total Small Business and 2 percent Competitive 8(a). Small business set-asides clustered around logistics support, configuration management, and in-service engineering roles. The vehicle included four subpools: Small Business Pool, Unrestricted Pool, Preferred Program Small Business Pool, and 8(a) Pool.

Ordering activity declined sharply across the vehicle's final five years, falling from 34 orders in 2014 to 13 in 2018. As of the ordering deadline, $356.3 million of the $486.1 million combined potential value had been obligated, representing 73 percent utilization. The most recent task orders—awarded through December 11, 2018—ranged from $1.5 million to roughly $31 million in obligated value, with ceiling values typically exceeding obligations by 15 to 35 percent. Place of performance was predominantly government facilities and contractor locations supporting Navy commands, with work also extending to foreign military sales cases and allied support requirements.

Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Atlantic (SSC LANT) has awarded a Master IDIQ for Battlespace Awareness (BA) Support Services. The anticipated work will support a broad range of Government services and solutions (equipment and services) associated with full system lifecycle support including research, development, test, evaluation, production and fielding of sustainable, secure, survivable, and interoperable Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Combat Systems, Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (C5ISR), Information Operations, Enterprise InformationServices (EIS) and Space capabilities. The BA Portfolio requirements encompass solutions that enable information dominance and meets demandsfor uninterrupted vigilance, fail-safe cybersecurity, adaptive response andengineering excellence by delivering secure, integrated and innovative solutions to many naval, joint and national agencies. Tasks will include efforts related to services for systems and organizations that observe adversary activity, collect data, and process it into information and intelligence.
