ENCORE II Information Technology Support (ENCORE II)

The ENCORE II Information Technology Support (ENCORE II) is a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle managed by the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) that provides comprehensive information technology solutions to the Department of Defense and other federal agencies. The contract, which replaced the original ENCORE contract in April 2008, enables rapid procurement of diverse IT services and solutions across numerous technological domains. The vehicle supports a wide range of IT requirements, including systems engineering, software development, cybersecurity, technical support, information assurance, and enterprise-level technology integration.

Task orders under ENCORE II demonstrate significant breadth and complexity, with values ranging from several hundred thousand to over $200 million and typical performance periods of 1-3 years. Prime contractors frequently include large government technology providers such as CACI, Northrop Grumman, Peraton, Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), Leidos, and Data Systems Analysts Inc. The contract vehicle supports task orders primarily for the Department of Defense, with common performance locations including Virginia, Maryland, and other locations supporting military and defense installations. While most task orders do not have set-aside designations, a notable subset are designated as Total Small Business awards. Typical task order scopes include defensive cyber operations, command and control systems support, enterprise resource planning, systems engineering, network infrastructure management, and specialized technical labor services across various military and defense agency requirements.
