BAE Systems Information And Electronic Systems Integration Inc.

BAE Systems Information And Electronic Systems Integration Inc., a Wayne, New Jersey-based subsidiary of BAE Systems PLC, designs and manufactures advanced communication, navigation, and electronic systems for U.S. military platforms as a prime contractor (94% of recent awards) competing without set-aside protections across the Department of Defense. The company operates through firm fixed-price and cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery orders issued against existing single-award indefinite-delivery contracts, with 1,002 total federal awards spanning defense sustainment, system repair, software engineering, and hardware development across air, land, and naval domains.

Customer concentration clusters heavily in Navy and Army commands. The top five funding agencies by award count—Naval Supply Systems Command (209 awards, $24.8 million potential value), Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (126 awards, $629 million), Department of the Navy (124 awards), Department of the Army (89 awards, $2.4 million), and Army Materiel Command Communications Electronics Command (71 awards, $147.8 million)—account for 62% of recent awards. By potential value, the concentration is more acute: Air Force Materiel Command Electronic Systems Center leads with $2.86 billion across six awards, followed by Naval Information Warfare Systems Command ($629 million), Army Aviation programs ($311.4 million), and Army CECOM ($147.8 million), together accounting for 82% of combined potential value. The divergence between volume and value reflects sustained, high-dollar programs at Air Force and Navy accounts versus frequent, smaller task orders at Army and Naval Supply.

BAE Systems holds primary positions on five major indefinite-delivery contracts: a $19.6 million Navy IDC (97 task orders), a $4.5 million Navy vehicle (80 task orders), an Air Force single-award contract supporting 50 task orders, a Navy contract with 31 task orders worth $69.3 million, and a Navy vehicle with 31 task orders. Recent representative prime awards include a $1.84 million Naval Information Warfare Systems Command delivery order for Multifunctional Information Distribution System (MIDS) problem-report investigations under a core software engineering contract (cost-plus-fixed-fee, February 2026 completion), a $5.29 million Army CECOM order for 55 Doppler Navigation Sets (firm fixed-price, January 2027 completion), a $4.6 million Naval Supply Systems Command definitive contract for aircraft material repair and sustainment (March 2028 completion), and a $13.8 million Office of Naval Research definitive contract awarded in August 2022 for Next Generation Networking Waveform prototype development and demonstration (December 2025 completion). Work spans Doppler navigation system sustainment, B-52 Multi-Mode Radio repair, MIDS software and problem investigation, receiver-transmitter components, avionics repair, and tactical communications engineering.

Activity has accelerated sharply: two awards in 2022, nine in 2023, 32 in 2024, and 46 in 2025. Eight awards with completion dates in the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $17 million, a modest recompete cliff given the annual award flow. The portfolio concentrates in navigation and communications equipment manufacturing (174 awards under search, detection, navigation, guidance, and aeronautical system NAICS), maintenance and repair (98 awards), radar equipment sustainment (117 awards under PSC coding), and custom software development (68 awards). Place of performance centers at Wayne, New Jersey and Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, with minor work at Air Force bases supporting B-52 sustainment.

BAE Systems operates as a prime contractor on substantial proportions of its awards; the portfolio reflects full-and-open competition without small-business set-asides, positioning the company as a large, established defense contractor. Service Contract Inventory reporting, which covers service contracts above $150,000, captured $1 million in invoiced federal services revenue across FY2022–FY2024, averaging $577.27/hr government-paid rates on the three SCI-reportable records, with no named subcontractors on those contracts. This SCI figure is a partial snapshot of federal services activity and does not represent total enterprise revenue; the company's federal footprint is dominated by goods procurement (navigation and communications hardware), manufacturing, and fixed-price delivery orders that fall outside SCI reporting thresholds.

In the subcontractor role, BAE Systems supports The Boeing Company across multiple programs: C-17 Globemaster III total sustainment and minor development, F-15EX production lots, MQ-25 advanced development, and FY24 C-17 virtual fleet material requirements, with 58 sub-awards to Boeing between October 2024 and April 2026. Additional subcontract work includes Northrop Grumman E-2D Multiyear Production II standard-part hardware (March 2024) and Integrated Solutions For Systems Common Munitions Software Defined Radio test asset hardware production (January 2024). This sub footprint reflects BAE Systems' role as a component and subsystem supplier on major defense primes rather than a systems integrator on its own platform programs.
