Strategic Contract Consolidation Announcement

Solicitation # Command_Control_and_Information_Network_(CPE_C2IN)

The Department of the Army's Command, Control, and Information Network (CPE C2IN) portfolio is initiating a strategic realignment to consolidate over twenty legacy Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance (SETA) and fielding contracts. This effort aims to eliminate functional redundancies and improve operational efficiency across the infrastructure, transport, applications, and data layers of Command and Control modernization. The consolidated requirements will be organized into three enterprise-level pillars: Business/Operations/Administrative Support, Fielding, Property, Field Support, and Training, and Product Support. To ensure mission continuity, the transition will follow a phased, multi-year rollout, migrating work packages as existing contracts expire. While baseline operational support is being centralized, Project and Product Managers will retain the autonomy to maintain separate contracts for specialized technical and engineering SETA requirements. This notice is intended for industry planning and early engagement and does not yet constitute a formal request for proposals.
