About this vehicle
The Defense Information Systems Agency established this Master IDIQ for IT enterprise support services in April 2013, but ordering closed on February 20, 2019 and is no longer accepting new task orders. The vehicle's shared ceiling is $404.1 million, with 21 task orders awarded totaling $291.8 million in combined potential value; $279.8 million (96% of potential) has been obligated. The most recent task order was awarded in April 2018, eight years ago.
Task orders contract the full range of DISA's internal IT operations and maintenance, including system and database administration, cybersecurity support, IT service desk operations across Tier 1–3, enterprise architecture, network engineering, infrastructure deployment, configuration management, and email and portal solutions. Orders span DISA facilities at Scott Air Force Base, Fort George G. Meade, Ogden, Mechanicsburg, and Oklahoma City, with global service desk support responsibilities.
Ordering activity peaked in 2015 with nine task orders, then declined sharply to one order each in 2016 and 2018. The competitive landscape is highly concentrated: Nova-Dine LLC holds 10 orders worth $143.9 million (49% of combined potential value), and Unitech Consulting LLC holds 4 orders worth $115.4 million (40% of combined potential value). These two firms account for roughly 89% of the vehicle's value. Highaction, LLC and Soft TECH Consulting, Inc. hold the remaining orders. All orders fund DISA directly with no cross-agency activity.
Set-aside distribution reflects a balance between unrestricted and 8(a) work: 11 orders (52%) are unrestricted, 9 orders (43%) are competitive 8(a), and one order (5%) is total small business. Task orders employ both firm fixed price and cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing. Individual order ceilings range from $5,000 for pre-performance conferences to $73.9 million for IT service desk and network operations. The largest single order (HC104713D4003-0002) was a $73.9 million service desk contract awarded in August 2015.
Because the vehicle's ordering period closed in February 2019, no new task orders can be placed against it. Pursuit is limited to completion work on existing orders.
