BAE Systems Information And Electronic Systems Integration Inc.

BAE Systems Information And Electronic Systems Integration Inc. NSS Division, doing business as BAE Systems Navigation And Sensor Systems, manufactures precision GPS receivers, M-Code navigation equipment, and anti-jam antenna systems for the U.S. Department of Defense as a prime contractor (56% of recent awards) and as a subcontractor to major defense primes. The vendor is a subsidiary of global defense contractor BAE Systems PLC, competes on a full-and-open basis across federal procurements with no set-aside designations, and operates from its core facility in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

The vendor's customer concentration is heavily concentrated in the Air Force and Army. The top five customer organizations by award count account for 45% of recent awards: the Department of the Air Force Space Command Space and Missile Systems Center leads with 21 awards valued at $711 million combined potential value, followed by the Department of the Army PEO Intelligence, Electronic Warfare & Sensors with 19 awards valued at $408.1 million. However, the top-customer rankings by potential value show a different concentration: the Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime anchors the list with $956.1 million across five awards — a gap signaling that DLA places fewer but substantially larger orders. The Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center's $711 million across 21 awards and Air Force Materiel Command Lifecycle Management Center Eglin's $490.2 million across 11 awards round out the top three dollar customers.

The vendor holds a single-award $319 million indefinite delivery contract with the Army Program Executive Office for Intelligence, Electronic Warfare & Sensors through September 2028 for production and sustainment of MiniPLGR Engine-M-Code GPS cards. This is the parent vehicle for eleven delivery orders issued between September 2023 and November 2025, ranging from $30,432 to $10.3 million. Representative prime awards include a $7.4 million Space and Missile Systems Center definitive contract for foreign military sales GPS receivers (March 2024), a $8.6 million Space and Missile Systems Center delivery order for Selective Available Anti-Spoofing Module 3.7 single-chip modules for Israel (February 2024), and delivery orders under the Army IDC for MPE-M card production valued at $1.79 million (February 2024) and $2.93 million (November 2024). The vendor also holds a single-award Air Force Materiel Command indefinite delivery contract with a $284,184.60 ceiling for DAGR repair, sustainment, and delivery services running through February 2027. Recent foreign military sales work supports allied nations including Spain, Poland, Romania, Saudi Arabia, Norway, and Slovakia across multiple GPS receiver product lines.

Activity has grown substantially: from 21 awards in 2022 to 50 in 2025. Six awards with ultimate completion dates inside the next twenty-four months carry combined potential value of $377.4 million and face recompete risk. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on Defense Advanced GPS Receiver (DAGR) production and repair, MiniPLGR Engine-M-Code GPS cards, M-Code GPS receivers, SAASM modules, anti-jam receivers, and NAVSTRIKE GPS receivers for precision positioning, navigation, and timing across Army, Air Force, Navy, and Space Force programs. NAICS concentration is 90 awards under Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing, with secondary concentration in Ammunition Manufacturing (21 awards) and Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing (17 awards).

The vendor subcontracts extensively to prime contractors, particularly Raytheon Company (GPS receiver work on Small Diameter Bomb II, Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile, High Speed Anti-Radiation Missile refurbishment, and Advanced Technology Support Program contracts), Lockheed Martin Corporation (Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System, HIMARS, and Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile programs), The Boeing Company (JDAM tail kits for Air Force and Navy, B21 program support), General Atomics Aeronautical Systems (MQ-9 Reaper GPS receiver supply), General Dynamics Mission Systems (Littoral Combat Ship sustainment), and Rockwell Collins (MAPS Gen II program, JPALS M-Code trade studies). The vendor also subs to L3Harris Technologies, The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, and others across defense and aerospace platforms.

BAE Systems NSS Division competes without set-aside designation and operates across full-and-open federal procurements. The vendor's $2.78 billion combined potential value across 181 awards (102 prime, 79 sub) reflects strategic positioning as the primary supplier of advanced navigation systems to Department of Defense branches and allied foreign military sales customers. The company's established role in positioning, navigation, and timing modernization—particularly through the large Army IDC for MPE-M cards and Air Force relationships for DAGR sustainment—anchors a diversified prime and subcontracting portfolio spanning GPS receiver production, anti-jam systems, and precision navigation components for guided weapons, aircraft platforms, and military ground and maritime systems.
