PEO C4I Software Development Multiple Award Contract (MAC)

This synopsis serves to meet the requirement of FAR 5.201. The Naval Information
Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR), in support of the Program Executive Office for
Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (PEO C4I),
Command and Control Systems Program Office (PMW 150) and the Battlespace
Awareness and Information Operations Program Office (PMW 120), intends to issue
a Total Small Business Set-Aside Request for Proposal (RFP) N00039-22-R-1000
(formerly N00039-21-R-1001) for the procurement of PEO C4I Software Development
Multiple Award Contract (MAC). The RFP will be released in Q2FY22, with a
contract award estimated for the Q4FY22 or Q1FY23 timeframe.

The proposed software development MAC will serve as a contract vehicle for all program
offices within PEO C4I to procure software development services. The scope of this
contract will include efforts necessary to develop and integrate new software solutions to
emerging PEO C4I requirements, as well as modification and enhancement of existing
systems. The software developed under this contract shall be deployed on enterprise
Navy or DoD Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Platform as a Service (PaaS)
programs such as Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES)/Agile
Core Services (ACS) and Shore Tactical Assured Command and Control (STACC).
Software Development services shall be delivered using a Development, Security,
Operations (DevSecOps) pipeline. PEO C4I is standardizing a Government
DevSecOps pipeline that will dictate that a specific DevSecOps tool chain be used for
Task Orders (TOs) awarded through this MAC. The focus area of this contract is agile
software design, development, modification, integration, related Test and Evaluation
(T&E) support, and software systems engineering support. This contract further
focuses on the use of data analytics techniques such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and
Machine Learning (ML) to design, develop, modify, integrate and support new software
development, and to sustain existing software programs. This contract also
encompasses the functions needed to support these main areas such as development of
training embedded in the software, online help resources, and Configuration Management
(CM) support. Subsequent TOs awarded under this contract will define future, mission-
specific software development requirements.


The PEO C4I Software Development MAC procurement will be conducted as a Total Small
Business Set-Aside. The Government anticipates issuing a Multiple Award Contract (MAC)
Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The MAC IDIQ contract
will be a ten-year ordering period [five-year base ordering period with five-year option
ordering period]. The Government anticipates utilizing Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) CLIN
structure and Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) CLIN structure for software development services.
