About this agency
The Department of Agriculture Office of the Chief Information Officer is a civilian sub-agency that procures and funds information technology, systems integration, and IT-enabled services supporting USDA's mission and operational infrastructure.
The Office has awarded 15,764 federal contracts totaling $12.18 billion in combined potential value since 1999, with $8.5 billion obligated. Recent contract activity shows 405 awards in 2022, 386 in 2023, 375 in 2024, 243 in 2025, and 279 year-to-date in 2026. The most recent contract award was recorded on 2026-10-16. The Office transacts with 1,918 distinct prime contractors across its portfolio history.
Contract competition is fragmented by award count; the top five primes account for 28 percent of recent awards. Colossal Contracting LLC leads by volume with 143 awards and $135 million combined potential value over the last five years, followed by New TECH Solutions, Inc. with 122 awards ($21.3 million) and Advanced Computer Concepts, Inc. with 119 awards ($13.4 million). By combined potential value, the competitive structure is highly concentrated; the top five primes hold only 5 percent of recent combined potential value, reflecting heavy reliance on multiple smaller vendors and transactional vehicles. Carahsoft Technology Corp tops the by-value ranking with 26 awards worth $330.8 million combined potential value, followed by Colossal Contracting LLC at $135 million and Thundercat Technology, LLC at $42.5 million.
Contract set-asides are lightly used. Eighty-three percent of awards carry no set-aside designation. Small-business awards (all categories combined) comprise 9 percent of awards; 8(a) sole-source awards account for 5 percent. Service-disabled veteran-owned, HUBZone, competitive 8(a), and woman-owned small-business awards each represent 1 percent or less of the portfolio.
The Office has issued one federal grant award, a $50 thousand Cooperative Agreement to The Freshwater Trust on 2025-09-15. Grant activity is minimal at the portfolio level.
Recent contract and grant opportunities are not recorded in the available source data. Firms pursuing work should monitor USDA's contracting office bulletins and SAM.gov for active solicitations.
