Enterprise Business Management Support Services

The Enterprise Business Management Support Services (EBMSS) Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) is a multiple-award contract vehicle established by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to acquire comprehensive professional services supporting the agency's mission-critical operations. The BPA enables CBP to procure a wide range of technology, management, and support services, including enterprise architecture management, IT modernization, strategic planning, data analytics, cybersecurity, program management, and organizational transformation services. With a shared ceiling of $500 million, the vehicle allows CBP to rapidly acquire specialized professional services through task order competitions among pre-qualified contractors.

The BPA has been predominantly utilized by Deloitte Consulting LLP, Booz Allen Hamilton Inc., and NTT Data Federal Services Inc., who have consistently won task orders ranging from $500,000 to over $35 million. Typical task orders focus on IT support, strategic planning, enterprise analytics, data center migration, and executive communications, with performance periods generally spanning 12-36 months. The contracts are consistently awarded on a full and open competitive basis with no specific small business set-asides, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic considerations. The majority of work is performed in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, specifically in locations like Rosslyn, Virginia, and is funded directly by CBP and other Department of Homeland Security components. Pricing mechanisms are predominantly firm-fixed-price, with occasional use of labor-hour and time-and-materials contract types, reflecting the variable and specialized nature of the required professional services.
