Commerce Acquisition for Transformational Technology Services (CATTS)

The Department of Commerce, Office of the Secretary is operating a Master IDIQ for enterprise-wide information technology services with a shared ceiling of $1.5 billion and ordering authority through September 13, 2032, providing six years of remaining acquisition window. This vehicle remains active with substantial ordering capacity remaining.

The vehicle covers six core task areas: CIO support, Digital Document and Records Management, Managed Service Outsourcing and Consulting, IT Operations and Maintenance, Information Technology Services Management, and Cyber Security. All 15 task orders issued under the vehicle carry firm fixed pricing.

The vehicle exhibits a data-reporting gap that obscures its operational reality. The source lists $0.00 in combined potential value across all awarded primes and obligated dollars across all task orders, while the vehicle maintains a $1.5 billion shared ceiling. This reporting anomaly prevents assessment of typical task-order economics, concentration of spending among primes, and actual utilization against the ceiling. No task orders issued since September 2022 appear in the award history, though the vehicle's lifecycle indicates it should have been active for three years.

All 15 task orders are marked with a minimum guarantee notation and carry completion dates of June 28, 2023, or September 19, 2023—suggesting the awards were initial seeding orders or a vehicle closeout cycle rather than ongoing procurements. One task order carries a Total Small Business set-aside; the remainder are unrestricted. Task orders are spread evenly across 15 distinct prime contractors, indicating no competitive concentration at award, though the lack of post-September 2022 activity makes this distribution a historical snapshot rather than a current state.

The vehicle serves only the Department of Commerce as a customer. Given the three-year gap in new task-order awards, the vehicle appears inactive or underutilized relative to its ceiling and scope, despite remaining ordering authority. Prospective contractors should verify current acquisition strategy and funding authorization with the Commerce OCIO before pursuing work.

The Department of Commerce, Office of the Secretary, Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) has a requirement enterprise-wide Information Technology services. These services fall within 6 main task areas: CIO support, Digital Document and Records Management, Managed Service Outsourcing and Consulting, IT Operations and Maintenance, Information Technology Services Management, and Cyber Security.
