The Government Accountability Office (GAO), a civilian federal agency, has awarded a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) valued at $120,000,000 to Four Points Technology, L.L.C., a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), to provide cloud services off the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract vehicle. Under this BPA, GAO has issued multiple task orders to Four Points to procure cloud computing services, including Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud solutions, to support GAO's Information Systems and Technology Team initiatives such as the Innovation to Develop Enhanced Audits (IDEA) program. The task orders, valued from hundreds of thousands to over $5 million, have a period of performance ranging from one to three years, with all work to be performed in Virginia. Four Points Technology has a history of providing a wide range of IT products and services as a prime contractor to various federal agencies.
The specific task orders awarded to date include procurement of cloud service bundles, cloud computing credits, web hosting and storage services, and other IT support to enable GAO's IT modernization efforts and data analytics initiatives. The task orders leverage the pre-negotiated pricing and terms of the GSA MAS contract vehicle, without the use of any set-aside designations. This BPA allows GAO to readily obtain commercial cloud solutions and associated services to enhance its auditing capabilities and support its mission of providing Congress with objective, fact-based information to improve the performance and accountability of the federal government.
