Commodities Enterprise Contract (CEC)

The Commodities Enterprise Contract (CEC) is an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle awarded by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to provide state-of-the-art hardware and software solutions. The contract primarily focuses on acquiring information technology infrastructure, including laptops, mobile tablets, servers, switches, routers, storage arrays, security platforms, installation services, and warranty support. The master IDIQ vehicle appears designed to support the VA's extensive technology modernization and infrastructure refresh efforts across multiple healthcare systems, medical centers, and administrative facilities nationwide.

The task orders under this contract are predominantly set aside for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB), with most delivery orders ranging from approximately $10,000 to $55 million. Two prime contractors, Intelligent Waves LLC and All Points Logistics (APL), frequently win task orders, often supporting VA Information Technology Operations and Service's End User Operations. The orders typically involve procuring network equipment such as wireless access points, network switches, routers, servers, and associated hardware with standard one-year warranties. Common places of performance include VA medical centers, community-based outpatient clinics, and administrative facilities across the United States, with task orders supporting network infrastructure upgrades, facility activations, and technology refresh initiatives. The contract demonstrates a strategic approach to leveraging small business capabilities in supporting critical federal technology infrastructure needs.
