DOS Enterprise Converged Platform (DOS ECP)

The Department of State Bureau of Information Resource Management established this Master IDIQ on September 26, 2014, to procure preconfigured converged infrastructure packages—servers, storage, networking equipment, and management software—for domestic data centers and remote offices. The ordering period closed on February 6, 2020, and no new orders may be placed against the vehicle.

This vehicle is inactive and unsuitable for new business development. The last task order awarded on September 28, 2020, more than five years ago, and the ordering ceiling expired nearly six years ago. The contract generated 13 task orders over its six-year active life, with ordering activity concentrated in 2017 and 2020 (four orders each year). The combined potential value across all task orders stands at $308 million, with $72.1 million obligated to date (23% of potential value).

Iron Brick Associates, LLC dominates the vehicle, holding 10 of 13 orders and $289.1 million of the combined potential value—approximately 94 percent of the total. World Wide Technology LLC holds the remaining 3 orders worth $18.9 million. All 13 orders are unrestricted (no set-aside designations applied).

The Department of State Bureau of Information Resource Management placed 11 orders valued at $306.3 million; the remaining two orders funded the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs ($786 thousand) and the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs ($921 thousand). Task orders ranged from $156 thousand to approximately $10.6 million in ceiling value, typically covering servers bundled with software, maintenance agreements, networking switches, and associated training or implementation services. The most recent orders (March through September 2020) included COVID-19 emergency infrastructure and remote-work equipment.

New vendors cannot compete on this vehicle; it is closed to future ordering and effectively concluded.

The ECP contractor(s) shall develop technical solutions (hardware and software) for Department Domestic Data Centers and Remote Offices. The ECP technical solution will be preconfigured to include: racks, servers, switches, storage, local back-up and data offshoring solutions for Disaster Recovery (DR), Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS), computing and networking components, management utilities for configuration and any necessary wiring. The converged infrastructure packages multiple IT components into a single, optimized computing solution defined as the ECP. ECP components include servers, data storage devices, networking equipment and software for IT infrastructure management. The physical components will be preloaded with software as defined in individual orders, packaged and prepared for shipment by the ECP contractor(s).
