Consolidation/Substantially Bundle - Electronic Warfare Depot Seaport Task Order

Other / Unclassified

This document is a "Determination and Findings" (D&F) regarding the authority to consolidate and bundle contract requirements for Airborne Electronic Warfare (EW) systems depot support services. It outlines the rationale for consolidating two existing SeaPort-NxG task orders into a single, larger task order. The document details the nature of the services, the results of market research, and the justification for the consolidation and bundling strategy.

• Procurement Strategy: The government intends to consolidate and bundle EW depot support services, currently provided under two separate task orders, into a single follow-on SeaPort-NxG task order. This indicates a future procurement opportunity for these consolidated services.
• Scope of Work: The services encompass Engineering, Technical, Logistics, and Programmatic Support for EW depot tasking, including Electronic Surveillance (ES), Electronic Protection (EP), Electronic Countermeasures (ECM), and Electronic Attack (EA). Specific areas include system engineering, in-service engineering, interoperability, prototyping, reliability, quality assurance, and configuration management.
• Market Research & Competition: The document details multiple Requests for Information/Sources Sought (RFI/SSN) conducted to assess market interest and identify potential offerors. It notes that while initial research identified potential for small business participation, market evolution has led to several small businesses becoming large businesses. The government determined that two large businesses are capable of meeting the consolidated requirements.
• Small Business Participation: The strategy aims to maximize small business participation at the subcontract level, setting a minimum threshold of 20% of the total task order value for small business subcontracting. This is a key consideration for potential prime contractors.
• Benefits of Consolidation: The government believes consolidation offers benefits in mission alignment, quality, schedule, and efficiency-induced cost savings, justifying the bundling approach over alternative strategies.
• Anticipated Award: The proposed effort is anticipated for award in July 2026 with an estimated value that is not fully disclosed but is substantial, derived from the consolidation of two existing task orders valued at approximately $116M and $39M, plus additional projected workload.
