About this IDV
The Social Security Administration (SSA) awarded an Indefinite Delivery Contract to International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) on July 1, 2016, with an ultimate completion date of September 30, 2026, establishing a single-award vehicle with a ceiling value of approximately $811.7 million. The contract, designated as the Mainframe Hardware Blanket Purchase Agreement Recompete, was issued without a set-aside designation and encompasses the procurement of mainframe hardware, capacity upgrades, and associated supplies to support SSA's mission-critical computing infrastructure. Performance is conducted at IBM's facility in Westlake, Maryland. The contract serves as the foundational IDV through which the SSA procures its essential mainframe technology solutions, leveraging IBM's expertise in enterprise-scale computing systems to maintain operational continuity for benefit processing, records management, and administrative functions that serve millions of beneficiaries.
The contract has generated substantial task order activity since inception, with delivery orders ranging from routine annual maintenance renewals of approximately $6.8 million to $9.3 million, to significant infrastructure modernization efforts including a $64 million mainframe hardware refresh from IBM Z14 to Z16 systems and a $26.5 million special order for additional mainframe capacity designated for role swap purposes. Additional task orders address specific infrastructure needs, such as the procurement of mainframe system monitors and consoles, MIPS capacity increases, and hardware upgrades for mainframe accelerators (ZAAP and ZIIP). All delivery orders are structured as firm fixed-price contracts. The pattern of task order awards demonstrates continuous reliance on IBM's mainframe solutions to sustain SSA's operational environment while incorporating periodic technology modernization to maintain system performance and capability standards in support of the agency's critical social security benefit administration mission.
