About this vehicle
The Defense Information Systems Agency awarded ENCORE II Information Technology Support on April 24, 2008, a Master IDIQ vehicle with a shared ceiling of $12.225 billion. Ordering under ENCORE II closed on May 31, 2018; the vehicle has been inactive for ordering for over seven years and was succeeded by ENCORE III Information Technology Services in September 2018.
ENCORE II remains substantially obligated despite its closed ordering window. Of the $9.69 billion in combined potential value across 569 task orders, $9 billion (93 percent) has already been obligated. Task-order activity has declined sharply in recent years—from 29 orders in 2015 to just 2 orders in 2019 (the most recent award dated August 15, 2019)—reflecting the vehicle's retirement. Orders span IT services delivery labor, systems engineering, database administration, command-and-control software support (including Global Command and Control Systems Joint), cybersecurity operations, enterprise resource planning implementation, and infrastructure sustainment across defense agencies.
Competition remains concentrated among a small set of prime contractors. Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation holds $1.82 billion in combined potential value (35 orders), followed by Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. with $990.4 million (75 orders), and Data Systems Analysts Inc. with $870.6 million (21 orders). These three firms and CACI Inc. Federal and Science Applications International Corporation together account for roughly half the vehicle's combined potential value, though activity extends across 42 distinct prime contractors.
Ordering has been heavily concentrated at the Defense Information Systems Agency, which placed 300 orders worth $4.51 billion in combined potential value—representing 68 percent of task-order count and roughly 47 percent of the vehicle's total potential value. The Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Department of the Navy, the Air Force, and the Defense Logistics Agency account for most remaining volume.
The set-aside mix heavily favors unrestricted competition. Eighty-two percent of task orders (467 awards) carry no set-aside; 14 percent (82 orders) are partial small business; and 4 percent (20 orders) are total small business. Task-order values range widely, from sub-million-dollar efforts to mega-orders exceeding $200 million in potential value—notably HC102808D2006-0016 at $217.9 million and HC102808D2023-0067 at $212.1 million combined potential value, both cost-plus or firm-fixed-price labor and operations contracts that ran through 2019 or later.
This vehicle is not available for new task orders and should not be pursued; focus should instead direct to ENCORE III.
