Alliant Small Business

The Alliant Small Business Government-Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) is a comprehensive information technology (IT) services and solutions contract vehicle designed to provide federal agencies with flexible, pre-competed IT support across multiple domains. Specifically tailored for small businesses, this contract enables ordering contracting officers to procure a wide range of IT services, including systems development, cybersecurity, network engineering, cloud computing, data management, and ancillary support services. The contract vehicle, which was originally awarded on February 2, 2009, with a shared ceiling of $15 billion, allows for the integration of ancillary services and equipment as long as they are integral to the primary IT solution.

Task orders under this GWAC demonstrate a diverse range of IT services across federal agencies, with most contracts ranging from approximately $500,000 to $89 million and typical performance periods of 2-5 years. Frequent prime contractors include Agile Defense, LLC, Advanced Alliant Solutions Team, Obxtek Inc., SP Systems, and Federal Acquisition Services Alliant Joint Venture LLC. The funding agencies are predominantly defense-related, including the Defense Information Systems Agency, Department of the Navy, Army Materiel Command, and Special Operations Command, though civilian agencies like the Internal Revenue Service and General Services Administration are also represented. While many task orders do not utilize set-asides, there are notable awards for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, Women-Owned Small Businesses, and Total Small Business set-asides. Performance locations are typically in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, Virginia, Maryland, and other military installations across the United States.
