The General Services Administration Federal Acquisition Service Information Technology Category issued a request for information notice for the Second Generation Information Technology blanket purchase agreement multiple award schedule program. The 2GIT BPA program aims to establish blanket purchase agreements with IT schedule contractors to procure standardized IT hardware, software, and services for Department of Defense and federal agency customers. Task orders awarded to Sterling Computers Corporation involve delivery of IT products and related installation services to various Department of the Air Force installations for requirements such as network infrastructure upgrades, data center modernization, and communications systems support. Performance is to take place at locations including Air Force bases in North Sioux City, Oklahoma City, Eglin, and Tyndall over periods ranging from one month to over one year. The total potential value of the orders is approximately $35 million. The awards utilize set-asides for small businesses and are issued against Sterling's GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract.
The original solicitation sought market research from GSA Schedule 70 contractors to inform development of a request for quotes under the 2GIT BPA program. The program aims to streamline procurement of standardized IT solutions for Department of Defense and federal customers. Responses were to include details on relevant experience and proposed product and service pricing. The information received would be used to potentially issue future requests for quotes directly to qualified sources under the authority of FAR 8.405-3(b)(1)(ii)(B)(2).
