The Electromagnetic Spectrum Services (EMS) Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, awarded by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA), supports comprehensive electromagnetic spectrum management and engineering services for the Defense Spectrum Organization (DSO). The contract enables technical and strategic support across the electromagnetic spectrum, focusing on operational, engineering, and planning initiatives that enhance national security and military telecommunications infrastructure. Services under this vehicle encompass advanced spectrum analysis, engineering support, modeling and simulation, regulatory coordination, and technical research and development related to spectrum sharing, wireless communications, and electronic warfare systems.

Task orders under this IDIQ consistently demonstrate a range of technical engineering services, with ceiling values typically ranging from $500,000 to $9 million and performance periods between one to three years. Prime contractors frequently include Peraton Inc. (Harris), Amentum Services Inc. (AECOM), Alion Science and Technology, and Calvert Systems Engineering, with a mix of large businesses and small business designations. Most task orders are cost-plus-fixed-fee or firm fixed-price, and none have mandatory small business set-aside requirements, though some individual task orders have been set aside for small or veteran-owned businesses. The primary funding agency is DISA, with work primarily supporting Department of Defense telecommunications and spectrum management initiatives, including advanced wireless services, spectrum sharing analyses, and operational support for electromagnetic environmental effects engineering.
