Roughly three years of ordering authority remain, but activity has slowed. The seven orders break down as four in 2019, one in 2021, and two in 2022, with none issued since Sep 30, 2022. Combined task-order potential value is $40 million, of which $37.1 million (93%) is obligated. The source identifies no predecessor or successor vehicle.
PPS Infotech LLC holds five of the seven orders and the full $40 million combined potential value. Iworks Corp and Centennial Technologies Inc. each hold one order, and the portfolio record shows $0 combined potential value for each. FSA is the only customer, placing 100% of orders.
