Enterprise System Lifecycle Management Support (ELMS)

The FDA's Enterprise System Lifecycle Management Support (ELMS) IDIQ, awarded July 9, 2009, is no longer accepting new orders as of June 30, 2019, meaning this vehicle is closed and unsuitable for new pursuit.

The vehicle carried a $2 billion shared ceiling and financed FDA enterprise IT lifecycle work across 39 task orders totaling $731 million in combined potential value, of which $567 million (78%) has been obligated. Task orders span system operations and maintenance, development, modernization, and enhancement across FDA centers including CDER, CDRH, CVM, ORA, and CFSAN. Representative work includes the Electronic Submissions Gateway, Regulatory Business Information Services, FDA Unified Registration and Listing System (FURLS), Emergency Operations Network Incident Management System, and document management platforms.

All 39 task orders carried unrestricted, competitive awards with no set-asides. The customer base consisted exclusively of the FDA, which issued all orders throughout the vehicle's lifecycle.

Competition concentrated heavily among two large integrators. Information Innovators, LLC won 16 orders worth $249.4 million combined potential value, and Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. captured 10 orders worth $205.9 million. Leidos, Inc. held a single but large task order valued at $197 million. Dovel Technologies LLC, Exeter Government Partners, and five additional smaller primes made up the remainder. The top two firms by order count held roughly 67% of the awarded task orders; by potential value, the top three firms (including Leidos) account for 97% of the vehicle's combined potential.

Ordering momentum declined in the vehicle's final years. The portfolio recorded 6 orders in 2015, 5 in 2017, but only 1 order in 2019 before the June 30 ordering deadline closed. Task-order values ranged widely, from under $57 thousand to nearly $197 million, reflecting both small operations-and-maintenance sustainment efforts and major platform development initiatives. The largest single task order, ORA MARCS full software development lifecycle support, obligated $194 million against a ceiling of $196.9 million.
