DISA Global Information Grid Services Management

The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) established the Global Information Grid Services Management Master IDIQ on December 21, 2012, with a shared ceiling of $202.9 million and a last date to order of December 31, 2018 — this vehicle is no longer accepting orders and has been closed for over seven years.

The vehicle is inactive for new ordering purposes. The most recent task order was awarded on December 31, 2019, nearly six and a half years ago. With 95 percent of the combined potential value already obligated across 28 delivered task orders, the vehicle has completed its mission. Pursuit of this vehicle is not viable.

For context on completed activity: The vehicle procured day-to-day operations and sustainment of Defense Information System Network (DISN) services under three capability groups — GSM-Operations, GSM-Engineering/Transition/Implementation, and GSM-Projects & Support. Work included DISN customer implementation projects, secure systems engineering, IP traffic analysis, transport engineering, connection approval, and IT service management labor, predominantly structured as cost-plus-fixed-fee and firm-fixed-price arrangements with ultimate completion dates through 2020.

By Light Professional IT Services LLC dominated the vehicle, holding 11 orders worth $315.4 million combined potential value (48 percent of all awards). NES Associates, LLC followed with 7 orders totaling $182 million, and Ipkeys Technologies LLC held 4 orders valued at $99.4 million. Four additional primes, including Cambridge International Systems, Inc., captured the remainder. A single customer agency — DISA itself — placed all 28 orders, representing 100 percent of vehicle activity. Seventy-five percent of orders carried no set-aside; 25 percent were designated Total Small Business. Individual task orders ranged from $500 minimum guarantees to $78.6 million ceilings, with obligated amounts frequently matching or approaching the full ceiling value, indicating mature, fully-funded work.

The Global Information Grid (GIG) Services Management (GSM) Acquisition of Services (AoS) is a United States (U.S.) Government program chartered to provide support to the Defense Information System Network (DISN) and associated networking capabilities. The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) acts as the provider of GIG/DISN services to its customers from U.S. national security organizations. The full set of GSM capabilities has been divided into three capability groups, as follows: (1) GSM-Operations (GSM-O) capabilities; (2) GSM-Engineering, Transition and Implementation (ETI) capabilities; and (3) GSM Projects and Support (P & S) capabilities.Sources under this Master IDIQ provide the support necessary to carry out required engineering, transition/implementation, integration; connection approval and IT service management activities, in support of existing and future DISN networking capabilities. GSM-O sources provide the support necessary to carry out the day-to-day operations and sustainment of GIG networks and related services. The results of GSM-ETI actions, when formally accepted by DISA, will be incorporated into the GSM-O networking baseline, to be subsequently operated and maintained by GSM-O. In additon, GSM-P & S support capabilities in part, perform project work in support of DISA and its customers to deliver a selected set of new capabilities.
