SSC LANT Information Assurance Support

The Naval Information Warfare Systems Command awarded a Master IDIQ for Information Assurance Support Services on September 8, 2011, with a shared ceiling of $195.7 million and ordering authority through March 8, 2017—this vehicle is no longer active for new task order placement. Ordering closed approximately nine years ago; the most recent task order was issued on September 28, 2015. This vehicle is not a viable pursuit vehicle for new work.

The scope covers IA engineering, systems development and installation, risk mitigation, test, evaluation and certification across Navy information systems including IA programs, modeling and simulation, wide and local area networks, cryptographic systems, telecommunications infrastructure, antenna and RF distribution, automatic data processing, and analysis systems. Task orders show work ranging from network security operations center engineering and sustainment to Navy Medicine enterprise services modernization, key management infrastructure deployment, and cross-domain solutions support.

The vehicle generated 73 task orders with combined potential value of $219.2 million, of which $182.8 million (83 percent) has been obligated. Ordering activity peaked in 2012 with 31 orders, then declined to one order in 2015. Science Applications International Corporation leads with 17 orders and $75.4 million combined potential value, followed by Leidos Inc. and Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. with 14 orders each ($37.1 million and $25.7 million respectively), and Scientific Research Corporation with 10 orders ($37.7 million). These five firms account for 92 percent of awarded task orders and 90 percent of combined potential value.

Seventy percent of orders and 60 percent of potential value funded Department of the Navy Information Warfare Systems Command programs. Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery placed 11 orders valued at $62.3 million, while Defense Health Agency, Defense Information Systems Agency, and Department of Veterans Affairs together accounted for seven orders. All 73 task orders carried no set-aside designation. Pricing was predominantly Cost Plus Fixed Fee. Task orders ranged from under $20,000 to approximately $21.7 million in potential value, with typical durations extending one to three years. Representative recent awards include Network Security Operations Center engineering support ($4.9 million ceiling, September 2015) and Teleport Integrated Product Team IA assessments ($471,000 ceiling, September 2014).

Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Atlantic (SSC LANT) has awarded a Master IDIQ for Information Assurance (IA) Support Services. The work includes the development and installation of information systems, providing associated IA engineering, support and guidance, risk mitigation, test, evaluation and certification with an emphasis on Information Assurance (IA). Tasks to be performed under this contract are directly related to systems, equipment, and programs which support SSCC contracts with categories including IA Programs, Modeling and Simulation of Information Systems, Wide Area and Local Area Network development, performance and integration, acquisition systems, processing systems, communications (cryptographic and cryptographic ancillary) systems, telecommunication systems, antenna and Radio Frequency Distribution systems, Automatic Data Processing, and analysis systems.
