SSC LANT Electronic Security Systems II (ESS)

The Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command established a Master IDIQ for electronic security systems life-cycle support on March 2, 2011, with ordering authority that closed on March 20, 2017. The vehicle is no longer active and cannot support new task orders.

This vehicle funded 194 delivery orders totaling $114.8 million in combined potential value, with $109 million obligated (95% of the potential). Ordering activity peaked in 2013 with 59 awards, then declined through 2016 when only 8 orders were placed in the final nine months of the vehicle's life. The last task order was awarded on September 30, 2016.

Scope centered on design, procurement, installation, testing, and lifecycle maintenance of intrusion detection systems, access control systems, closed-circuit television, and duress systems at military installations worldwide. Orders covered everything from small building-level IDS upgrades to enterprise-wide sustainment contracts for Air Force Integrated Base Defense Security Systems and Navy facility portfolios. Work occurred at U.S. bases in Europe (RAF Lakenheath, Ramstein, Aviano, Molesworth), the Middle East (ISA Bahrain, Jebel Ali), domestic locations (Philadelphia Naval Warfare Center, DLA distribution sites), and scattered CONUS and OCONUS military commands.

M.c. Cleansvendornametrait.phpdean, Inc. dominated the vehicle, earning 114 orders representing $56.2 million in potential value—nearly 49% of the total—and holding roughly 60% of all awarded orders. Global Enterprise Solutions, Inc. captured 34 orders ($44.9 million potential, 39% of total value). BAE Systems Technology Solutions & Services Inc., Systems Applications And Solutions L.L.C., and smaller firms filled the remainder. No set-asides applied; all orders were unrestricted.

Customer concentration was extreme: the Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command placed 173 of 194 orders ($93.9 million potential, 82% of total value). The U.S. Air Force Europe placed 6 orders, with Defense Logistics Agency and Defense Commissary Agency each contributing 2 orders.

Task orders ranged from low-value point installations ($7,880 ceiling) to large sustainment contracts ($7.9 million for A7S non-nuclear equipment maintenance logistics support). Most were firm-fixed-price; several larger sustainment efforts were cost-plus-fixed-fee. Typical single-site installation orders fell in the $20 thousand to $400 thousand range; network-wide or enterprise-level sustainment contracts often exceeded $2 million.
