About this vehicle
The Federal Bureau of Investigation Headquarters Division awarded a Master BPA for Background Investigation and Analytical Services on August 29, 2025, with ordering authority through February 28, 2031. The vehicle carries a shared ceiling of $258 million and remains active with over four and a half years of ordering time remaining.
To date, only one task order has been placed against the vehicle—a $79.997 million call to Information Systems & Networks Corporation awarded September 30, 2025, with performance through March 29, 2031. That single order represents the full $80 million in combined potential value currently executed under the vehicle, leaving approximately $178 million in ceiling capacity unobligated. Ordering activity is nascent; one award in the vehicle's first year does not yet indicate a reliable ordering pace.
The scope centers on background investigation and analytical services, as evidenced by the single task order's labor-hour pricing structure and the contract family nomenclature. Information Systems & Networks Corporation holds one hundred percent of awarded task orders and the entire executed potential value. The FBI Headquarters Division is the sole customer agency active on the vehicle to date.
The vehicle is early stage and heavily concentrated. With a single prime holding all current work and only one customer placing orders, the competitive and customer landscape remains largely undefined. The substantial remaining ceiling—roughly $178 million against a $258 million total—and the multi-year ordering window suggest the FBI intends significant future procurements under this vehicle. Prospective bidders should monitor for new solicitations and consider teaming or recompete strategies if Information Systems & Networks Corporation's initial task order proves representative of the FBI's purchasing pattern. The vehicle's youth and thin order book make it difficult to project whether future orders will remain sole-source to the incumbent, open to competition, or reserved for specific contractor categories.
