Enterprise Programs, Infrastructure, and Communications Services (EPICS)

The Enterprise Programs, Infrastructure, and Communications Services (EPICS) is a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle supporting the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Communications, Infrastructure and Network Programs (CINP) Group. The contract vehicle provides comprehensive systems engineering, technical assistance, program management, and professional services aimed at modernizing and supporting the National Airspace System (NAS) and related technological infrastructure. The EPICS contract enables the FAA to efficiently acquire a wide range of enterprise-level services critical to maintaining and advancing the agency's technological capabilities and operational effectiveness.

The task orders under this IDIQ predominantly feature time-and-materials and labor-hour pricing structures, with typical values ranging from approximately $1 million to over $140 million. Two prime contractors, Noblis, Inc. (a nonprofit organization) and Veracity Engineering LLC (a minority-owned small business), have secured the majority of the task orders. The contract supports various FAA initiatives including Enterprise Information Display Systems, Voice Systems, Telecommunications Infrastructure, NextGen air traffic modernization, and strategic technical support. Most task orders do not utilize small business set-asides, though a few have partial small business designations. The primary place of performance is Washington, D.C., with some work occurring in locations like Herndon, Virginia, Atlantic City, and Fort Lesley J. McNair. The overall contract has a shared ceiling of $803 million and is scheduled to remain active through June 4, 2024.
