Office of the Chief Information Officer

Department of the Interior Departmental Offices Chief Information Officer is a civilian sub-agency responsible for procuring information technology and related services to support the Interior Department's mission-critical computing and communications infrastructure. The office manages contract awards for IT systems, cybersecurity, software, data management, and departmental technology services across Interior's bureaus and field operations.

Since 2000, the office has awarded 2,147 federal contracts totaling $3.47 billion in combined potential value, with $2.21 billion obligated to date. Contract activity has remained steady over the last five years, averaging roughly 80 awards annually: 74 awards in 2022, 94 in 2023, 89 in 2024, 61 in 2025, and 83 year-to-date in 2026. The office maintains a diverse contractor base of 603 distinct primes across its portfolio history.

Competition over the last five years is moderately concentrated. Global Solutions Group, Inc. leads by award count with 83 recent awards and $31.7 million combined potential value, followed closely by Countertrade Products, Inc. with 60 awards and matching potential value of $31.7 million. These two primes alone hold 46 percent of recent awards. The next three ranked primes—Colossal Contracting LLC (22 awards, $14.9 million), Software Information Resource Corp. (15 awards, $10.9 million), and Advanced Computer Concepts, Inc. (9 awards, $2.2 million)—together account for a smaller share. By potential value, concentration is highly fragmented: the top five primes control only 3 percent of combined potential value in recent activity, indicating that the office awards significant value across a broad vendor population and likely transacts heavily through indefinite-delivery contracts, schedule task orders, or below-threshold purchase orders with unreported ceilings.

Set-asides favor open competition; 65 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation. Small-business awards constitute 25 percent of total awards, dominated by unrestricted small-business designations. Competitive 8(a) awards represent 4 percent of the portfolio, with an additional 4 percent awarded sole-source to 8(a) firms. Service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, HUBZone firms, and women-owned small businesses collectively account for less than 2 percent of awards.

The most recent award is dated October 1, 2026. No recent contract opportunities are recorded in the source data for this office.
