CANES is the Navy's Program of Record (POR) that consolidates and replaces existing afloat networks
providing the necessary infrastructure for applications, systems and services required to dominate the
cyber warfare tactical domain. CANES represents a key aspect of the Navy's modernization planning by
upgrading cybersecurity, command and control, communications and intelligence systems afloat, and by
replacing unaffordable and obsolete networks. The primary goals of the CANES program are to: 1) Provide
a secure afloat network required for Naval and Joint Operations; 2) Consolidate and reduce the number of
afloat networks through the use of Common Computing Environment and mature cross domain
technologies; 3) Reduce the infrastructure footprint and associated Logistics, Sustainment, and Training
costs; and 4) Increase reliability, security, interoperability and application hosting to meet current and
projected Warfighter requirements.

The CANES procurement will be conducted under full and open competition. The Government anticipates
issuing a Multiple Award Contract (MAC) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The MAC
IDIQ contract will be a ten (10) year ordering period. The Government anticipates utilizing a Firm Fixed
Price (FFP) CLIN structure for: 1) CANES Production Units for afloat unit, force, and submarine platforms,
2) Software – Initial, 3) Software - Renewals and Maintenance, 4) Spares and System Components, and
5) Lab Equipment.
