SSC LANT Business and Force Support (BFS)

The Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command awarded the SSC LANT Business and Force Support Master IDIQ on August 28, 2012, with ordering authority closed as of November 7, 2018. The vehicle is no longer active and no new task orders can be placed against it.

The vehicle contracted IT systems and engineering support across federal agencies' business operations and force support functions, including acquisition, financial management, civilian personnel, logistics, medical systems, training, security systems, and data center infrastructure. Awarded task orders span the full acquisition lifecycle—development, deployment, and sustainment—with heavy representation of medical systems, enterprise resource planning, network infrastructure, and command-and-control application support. Recent orders demonstrate concentration in electronic security systems deployment (access control and intrusion detection installations across Navy and Air Force child care facilities and NCR facilities), manpower and personnel systems (PMW240), Navy Reserve business systems, and data warehouse business intelligence infrastructure. Task orders employ Cost Plus Fixed Fee and Firm Fixed Price structures in roughly equal measure.

The vehicle distributed 133 orders across 46 prime contractors with significant concentration at the top: CACI, Inc. - Federal holds 13 orders worth $328.3 million combined potential value, while Aventure Technologies, LLC holds 18 orders worth $87.5 million. The top five primes capture 41 percent of order count but 69 percent of combined potential value, indicating that larger task orders flow to established systems integrators. A long tail of smaller firms, many 8(a)-certified, holds the remaining awards in sub-$50 million buckets.

Funding is heavily Navy-concentrated: the Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command alone placed 110 of 133 orders (82.7 percent of total value at $615.9 million), with the United States Marine Corps as the only other substantial customer at 8 orders. The vehicle maintained 74 percent unrestricted orders, 19 percent small-business set-asides, and 7 percent 8(a) awards (competitive and sole-source combined), reflecting a baseline unrestricted competition model with selective small-business carve-outs.

The vehicle's combined task-order potential value totaled $793.8 million, of which $614.9 million (77 percent) had been obligated by the end of the award period. Task orders ranged from small infrastructure support efforts under $1 million to sustained programs exceeding $60 million potential value, including major multi-year sustainment efforts for NTCSS, VBMS, clinical infrastructure, and Navy Reserve systems. Place of performance spanned CONUS and OCONUS locations, with concentration in the National Capital Region for security systems and distributed installations across Navy and Air Force installations worldwide for medical and manpower systems.

Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Atlantic (SSC LANT) has awarded a Master IDIQ for Business and Force Support (BFS) Support Services.

The BFS Portfolio encompasses the improvement of network, system, and security services, and providing cost-wise paths for upgrading systems to provide enhanced capabilities, scalable to large enterprises, based on recognized quality standards. Tasks will include efforts to transition customers to enterprise solutions using state-of-the-art technologies promoting operational efficiency and flexibility while reducing long-term sustainment costs.
