SSC LANT Decision Superiority Support

The Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command awarded SSC LANT Decision Superiority Support, a multiple-award Master IDIQ with a shared ceiling of $1.347 billion, on December 14, 2012, with ordering closed as of January 16, 2019. This vehicle is no longer active; no new task orders may be placed against it.

The IDIQ contracted command and control systems engineering, application development, and decision support services. Task orders awarded under the vehicle span C4ISR system integration and installation (MRAP vehicles, tactical communications networks, air traffic control systems), software development and sustainment (Global Command and Control Systems platforms, Windchill product data management), logistics information systems (GCSS-MC), help desk and technical support services, and program management and systems engineering across Navy, Marine Corps, and joint-service operations. Work performance locations included the contiguous United States, overseas bases (Djibouti, Qatar, Rota), and multiple dispersed Navy and Marine Corps installations.

Science Applications International Corporation dominated the vehicle, capturing 19 of 122 total task orders with $142.7 million in combined potential value—roughly 45 percent of all awarded value. Scientific Research Corporation, Commit Enterprises Inc., and M.c. Cleansvendornametrait.phpdean, Inc. held the next largest shares, collectively accounting for roughly $66.6 million. The remaining 37 primes split the balance, indicating a moderately concentrated competitive structure with a strong incumbent.

Customer concentration was even higher: Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command (SSC LANT) placed 99 of 122 orders worth $222.2 million combined potential value—roughly 70 percent of the vehicle's activity. United States Marine Corps issued 11 orders valued at $64.4 million. The remaining nine orders funded Defense Contract Management Agency, Naval Sea Systems Command, and Installations Command in smaller volumes.

Roughly 72 percent of task orders carried no set-aside, with 20 percent designated small business and 7 percent competitive 8(a). Task-order values ranged widely: most orders fell in the $500 thousand to $5 million band, though several large orders exceeded $10 million. One order for Army Network Modernization C4ISR systems integration reached $61.2 million in ceiling value with $7.1 million obligated. Another for Decision Superiority Support Services was valued at $12.5 million ceiling. Most orders used Cost Plus Fixed Fee pricing; a small minority employed Firm Fixed Price. Obligated value across the vehicle stood at $211.5 million against the combined potential of $317.9 million, representing 67 percent draw-down by the time ordering closed. The vehicle issued heavy order volume in 2014–2015, tapering sharply in 2017–2018, with only one order placed in 2018.

The anticipated work will include engineering and development of commandand control (C2) systems and application development for command, control, and decision support systems to enable utilization of information and decision aids to support decision-making.
