Alliant 2 Small Business - CANCELLED

The GSA Federal Acquisition Service awarded Alliant 2 Small Business (A2SB), a total small-business-set-aside Master GWAC for customized IT services and IT services-based solutions, on February 12, 2018, but subsequently rescinded all contract awards in response to a U.S. Court of Federal Claims protest and corrective action. The vehicle is no longer available for ordering.

The vehicle was established as a multiple-award IDIQ intended to serve all federal agencies and eligible entities. Performance was permitted worldwide at government and contractor locations as specified in task orders. The solicitation (QTA0016GBA0002) allowed fixed-price, cost-reimbursement, time-and-materials, and labor-hour task-order contract types under FAR 16.2, 16.3, 16.601, and 16.602. The NAICS code was 541512 with a small-business size standard of $27.5 million. The original ordering period was structured as a five-year base period with one five-year option, potentially extending to ten years of ordering.

All contract awards were rescinded, returning the procurement to pre-award status. A draft Amendment 9 addressing corrective action was released in August 2019 for comment, but the vehicle remains in corrective-action limbo with no pathway to re-award disclosed. The ordering period, which closed on February 12, 2018, is no longer active.

A2SB succeeded the original Alliant Small Business vehicle (awarded February 2, 2009). No information on awarded task orders, prime contractors, obligated value, or customer funding distribution is available because the awards were rescinded.

Contractors should monitor communications to a2sb@gsa.gov and the solicitation record for updates on whether GSA intends to re-award the vehicle under corrective-action terms or retire the procurement entirely.

Due to corrective action being taken in response to a U.S. Court of Federal Claims protest, the government has rescinded all contract awards for Alliant 2 Small Business (A2SB), returning to a pre-award status. Solicitation Number QTA0016GBA0002 (linked below) remains the official location for solicitation information. All inquiries should be directed to a2sb@gsa.gov.
