About this vehicle
ENCORE Information Technology Support, awarded by the Department of the Navy United States Fleet Forces Command (Atlantic) on June 15, 2002, is a master IDIQ with a shared ceiling of $2.5 billion; ordering closed on September 11, 2009, and was succeeded by ENCORE II in April 2008. This vehicle is no longer active and should not be pursued.
The vehicle supported Department of Defense and federal IT solutions across a broad customer base. Task orders funded IT managed services, hardware procurement (desktops, laptops, monitors, printers, scanners), data center and break/fix services, consulting (Oracle, SharePoint), and help desk support. The Defense Information Systems Agency placed 277 orders worth $260.7 million combined potential value; the Department of Justice Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives placed 51 orders worth $200.7 million; and the Department of the Army placed 42 orders worth $37 million—collectively representing roughly 45% of all task orders. Seventy-five distinct federal agencies used the vehicle.
Eight prime contractors held awards. Peraton Enterprise Solutions LLC dominated with 325 orders valued at $476.5 million combined potential value. Unisys Corporation held 151 orders worth $265 million; Northrop Grumman Information Technology Inc. held 248 orders worth $205.1 million; General Dynamics Information Technology Inc. held 79 orders worth $121 million; and Analytical Services, Inc. held 77 orders worth $32.7 million. These five firms captured 96% of combined potential value. Ordering momentum declined sharply after the ENCORE II succession: 140 task orders were placed in 2007, 105 in 2008, 19 in 2009, 36 in 2010, and only 5 in 2011. The vehicle awarded 965 total task orders from May 2002 through August 2011. Ninety-four percent of orders carried no set-aside designation; 4% were small business and 2% were partial small business.
Combined task-order potential value totaled $1.14 billion, but obligated dollars reached $2.39 billion—209% of potential value—indicating that orders exceeded ceiling estimates significantly. Notable mega-orders included DCA20002D5007-DJA10C000001 (HP Fiscal Year 2010/2011 main task order) with a $61.4 million ceiling and $25.4 million obligated, and DCA20002D5007-DJA09C000020 (EDS FY09 main task order) with a $34.9 million ceiling. Individual task-order values ranged from sub-thousand-dollar equipment purchases to nine-figure-ceiling IT managed services contracts. All orders carried firm fixed price or fixed price incentive pricing.
