About this IDV
The 8(a) STARS III Government Wide Acquisition Contract is a multiple-award indefinite delivery vehicle established by the General Services Administration's Federal Acquisition Service to provide broad-based information technology and professional services to federal agencies government-wide. Awarded to Quantum Columbia Technologies LLC (UEI: SHKWWYAR5183) on February 23, 2022, following a competitive 8(a) set-aside solicitation, this contract carries a ceiling value of $50 billion and extends through July 1, 2026. The contract leverages the Small Business Administration's 8(a) Business Development Program to support small disadvantaged businesses in competing for federal IT and services work. The competitive 8(a) set-aside designation restricts competition to certified 8(a) participants, advancing socioeconomic policy objectives while providing federal buyers with access to specialized vendor capabilities.
As a General Schedule-type contract vehicle, 8(a) STARS III enables federal agencies to place task orders for a comprehensive range of information technology solutions and professional services without conducting individual full and open competitions, thereby streamlining procurement timelines and reducing administrative burden. The contract incorporates GSA class deviation RFO-2025-16, which may modify standard terms or expand authorized service categories. The originating solicitation was posted as a pre-solicitation notice on June 22, 2020, with initial awards announced on July 2, 2021, allowing sufficient lead time for task order activity. This vehicle serves as a cost-effective procurement mechanism for civilian federal agencies seeking vendor expertise while supporting small business economic participation objectives.
