The Department of Commerce Office of the Secretary established this Master BPA on September 24, 2019, with a shared ceiling of $300 million; however, the ordering period closed on September 30, 2024, and no new orders may be placed against the vehicle. The BPA is no longer available for pursuit.

For context on past activity: the vehicle awarded 1,348 task orders over its five-year operational life, peaking at 375 orders in 2023 before contracting to 104 orders in 2024 as the September 30 deadline approached. Combined task-order potential value reached $345.2 million, with $304.8 million obligated (88% of combined potential value).

Thundercat Technology held the largest combined potential value at $140.3 million across 335 orders, while Government Acquisitions Inc. held $80.8 million across 305 orders. Colossal Contracting led in order count with 364 awards but lower combined value at $65.5 million. Across all five primes, the top three captured approximately 73% of combined potential value, with the remaining two primes holding roughly 27%.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration dominated customer activity with 783 orders valued at $151.1 million, accounting for roughly 44% of combined potential value. The National Institute of Standards and Technology, US Census Bureau, Office of the Secretary, and National Telecommunications and Information Administration collectively placed the remaining task orders. About 62% of orders carried Total Small Business set-asides; the remainder were unrestricted.
