The Department of the Army's Research, Development and Engineering Command (DEVCOM) awarded Kwaan Bear It Solutions LLC, an Alaskan Native Corporation-owned small business, a single-award $42,973,346.53 Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) for operations support. The 8(a) sole-source contract has a period of performance from February 2024 to February 2029. Under this IDC, DEVCOM issued a $8,245,508.30 cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order to Kwaan Bear It Solutions for application management and development services supporting the Digital Business Office. Additionally, Kwaan Bear It Solutions holds two other significant IDVs with federal agencies - a $51.5 million single-award IDC with the Army for program management advisory and assistance services, and a $25 million multiple-award IDC with the FBI for virtual currency tracing and blockchain analytics tools. These contracts leverage Kwaan Bear It Solutions' expertise in areas such as program management, IT consulting, software development, mission support, and blockchain technology to provide critical services across the Department of Defense, FBI, and other federal clients.
The original contract opportunity was a Request for Information (RFI) issued by DEVCOM in November 2022, seeking small business sources for operations support. The RFI was set aside for total small business participation. Based on the response to the RFI, DEVCOM subsequently awarded the $42.9 million IDC to Kwaan Bear It Solutions, an 8(a) certified and minority-owned firm, to provide the required operations support services over the next five years.
