Credit Reporting Services

The Credit Reporting Services Master Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, awarded by the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA), provides credit reporting services to federal government agencies. The contract enables ordering of two primary credit report types: single credit bureau reports and tri-merge reports that consolidate data from all three major credit bureaus. Designed as a multiple award vehicle with a $330 million shared ceiling, the contract is set aside exclusively for small businesses and will remain active until August 23, 2033, with a base period of five years and five additional one-year options.

Task orders under this vehicle have demonstrated modest dollar values, ranging from $6,000 to approximately $6 million, with completion dates typically extending through 2024 and 2025. Verato, Inc. and Array US Inc. have been notable recipients of early task orders, both focusing on providing single credit reports to support DCSA's Background Investigation Enterprise System (BIES) Program. The contract consistently uses a total small business set-aside designation under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 561450 for Credit Bureaus, with a small business size standard of $41 million. Delivery orders are structured as firm fixed-price contracts, supporting the agency's need for predictable pricing in credit reporting and identity verification services.
