DOS GITM Printers IDIQ

The Department of State Bureau of Information Resource Management awarded a Master IDIQ on June 1, 2015, for repetitive purchases of printers and related IT equipment to support the Global Information Technology Modernization program, with the last date to place orders on May 31, 2021. The vehicle is no longer accepting new orders.

The combined potential value across all 481 task orders is $13.9 million, with $13.9 million fully obligated. Activity peaked in the mid-period: 2017 and 2018 saw 106 and 114 orders respectively, but volume dropped sharply to 25 orders in 2020 and 11 in 2021 as the ordering window closed.

Awarded task orders show scope beyond the vehicle's name. While most orders procure printers (including multifunction color devices and enterprise networked units), orders also cover IT peripheral components—card readers, USB smartcard readers, desktops, monitors, laptops, docking stations, and zero-client processors. The most recent orders in 2021 range from $214 to $276,707 in individual value; two mega-orders in 2019 exceeded $1.4 million each.

Competition is concentrated among six prime contractors. Caci Idt, LLC holds the largest combined potential value at $5.4 million across 82 orders, followed closely by New TECH Solutions, Inc. with $4.8 million across 183 orders. The top four primes (Caci Idt, New TECH Solutions, Red River Technology LLC at $2 million, and Meadowgate Technologies LLC at $690 thousand) account for 96 percent of combined potential value.

Funding is heavily concentrated within DOS, with 56 percent of orders placed by five DOS bureaus. The Bureau of Information Resource Management itself placed 32 orders worth $8.9 million, while the Western Hemisphere Affairs, African Affairs, and European and Eurasian Affairs bureaus each placed dozens of orders in the hundreds of thousands range. The remaining 44 percent of orders fund a diverse set of 57 other federal agencies.

All 481 task orders were awarded without set-asides. Individual task-order values span from under $300 to over $1 million, with most clustering in the low five-figure range for single-unit or small-batch procurement.

The Department of State (DOS) has awarded a Master IDIQ for repetitive purchases of specified printers in a streamlined, pre-negotiated manner, to facilitate the mission of the Global Information Technology Modernization (GITM) program and the Department.
