The blanket purchase agreement (BPA) was awarded by the General Services Administration to World Wide Technology LLC to support the Second Generation Information Technology (2GIT) program. The multiple award BPA has a potential value of $500 million and period of performance through March 2026. Task orders issued apply IT solutions to modernize Department of Defense networks and infrastructure through the 2GIT program. Orders awarded to World Wide Technology involve delivery of Cisco switches, core networking equipment, and related items to various Department of Air Force components located domestically and abroad, supporting network upgrades at bases in the continental U.S., Japan, Germany and elsewhere. Funding for orders valued from $25,000 to over $2.3 million is provided by agencies like the Air Force Materiel Command and Air Education and Training Command utilizing the BPA to acquire standardized IT commodities and fulfill requirements for initiatives renewing their network assets. World Wide Technology serves as the prime contractor through task orders issued against its GSA Multiple Award Schedule contract vehicle.
The original solicitation sought responses from GSA Schedule 70 holders to review a draft request for quote for the 2GIT BPA. Vendors were asked to submit capability statements and market basket responses through GSA's e-procurement system by a given date. The General Services Administration indicated it may directly contact vendors responding to issue future requests for quotes under the BPA in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation part 8.405-3, which governs blanket purchase agreements. The notice provided background on the 2GIT program and invited GSA Schedule contractors to engage and potentially receive direct awards in support of the program's goal to modernize Department of Defense information technology infrastructure through strategic sourcing agreements.
