A Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) was entered into between the Navy and Northrop Grumman, California Microwave Systems (CMS), 6036 Variel Avenue, Woodland Hills, CA 91367 on 28 September 1998 for a total estimated amount of $50,000,000.00. The BOA has a five-year ordering period from 28 September 1998 through 27 September 2003. This BOA is for engineering, technical, logistical, and program management support services in support of Government C4I systems. The BOA includes hardware, hardware and software design, prototyping, Engineering Development Models (EDM), technical support, test planning and documentation, field support, training support, and on-site Contractor Engineering and Technical Support (CETS). Tasks also include data connectivity, Defense Message System (DMS) migration, application-level intelligence reporting, interoperability, systems integration, prototyping, software design/maintenance, and engineering and technical support of C4I systems. Orders are issued to CMS on a sole-source basis under the authority of Class J&A number CR 10241. This J&A documents the proprietary Communications Gateway System (CGS) as unique to CMS. The following tasks have been performed under the BOA over the past six-month period: Engineering services for the design, integration, testing, deployment, operation and maintenance of an intelligence collection and dissemination capability; Technical Engineering Support for the Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM), C4I Directorate, APM Intelligence Systems, Command Information Systems (CIS), in support of the AN/TSQ-90D Tactical Electronic Reconnaissance, Processing and Evaluation System (TERPES) Upgrade, Technical Control and Analysis Center (TCAC), and Intelligence Analysis System (IAS) systems. Specifically, this effort includes engineering support services for the TERPES and TCAC Software Support Agencies (SSA's); Technical support services for software design, software maintenance, system documentation, configuration management, data management, application life cycle support, systems engineering and technical support, platform design engineering and prototyping, and test planning and documentation; Technical Engineering Support services for the MARCORSYSCOM C4I Directorate in support of both fielded and in-development C4I systems that are utilizing and/or related to the Marine Corps-Communication Gateway System (MC-CGS), TERPES, TCAC, Radio Reconnaissance Enhancement Program (RREP), Knowledge Based Translator Technology (KBTT), Tactical Network Protocol (TNP) software programs and the MAGTF Mission Planning System (MMPS); Delivery of products from CMS to upgrade the CGS-100s to DMS/Y2k and for the development of the security overlay for the new CGS-100 software; Provide hardware and program/engineering support to SPAWAR System Center San Diego in support of the Navy's Defense Message System (DMS). SSC-SD has a requirement to design and/or procure products that provide messaging gateway and DMS functionality; Efforts required to integrate the Joint Tactical Terminal (JTT) into the IAS and support for the conduct of an Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) of such integration; Support requirement for up to 6 high volume, near fault tolerant, store and processing systems designed for both the AUTODIN and DMS environments at the Pentagon; Technical engineering support for the continuing phased development, test and demonstration of a prototype MARCORSYSCOM MAGTF Mission Planning System which will leverage in from the initial design of MMPS. It is anticipated that work under the BOA for the ensuing six-month period will include such tasks as the procurement of a USMC SIGINT Mission Evolution Framework, together with a series of mission plug-in modules; Services to engineer, furnish, install, integrate, test, and make operational a CGS suite that will support the DFAS transition from AUTODIN and legacy supporting systems to the DMS; Providing hardware and engineering support to SPAWAR Charleston in support of the DMS program; and an effort to design an Engineering Development Model and software to support Transmitter Identification. From its inception to date, the Government has issued orders totaling approximately $25M. It is anticipated that this expenditure rate will continue through the expiration of the BOA's ordering period.
