Global Infrastructure And Development Acquisition (GLINDA)

The Global Infrastructure and Development Acquisition (GLINDA) is a Master Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) awarded by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) that provides a comprehensive range of information technology and professional services. The vehicle supports multiple domains of technical infrastructure, including end-user computing services, network support, cybersecurity, data center and cloud services, application operations, maintenance support, and enterprise IT solutions. GLINDA enables the NRC to acquire specialized technical services through multiple prime contractors, with task orders spanning various complex technological requirements essential to the agency's mission.

Task orders under GLINDA consistently demonstrate a focus on mission-critical IT services, with ceiling values ranging from approximately $200,000 to nearly $50 million. Leidos, Inc. emerges as the most frequent prime contractor, winning multiple task orders across diverse service categories such as Microsoft 365 support, web services, high-performance computing, and integrated source management. Other significant prime contractors include Teksynap Corporation (a minority-owned small business) and CGI Federal Inc. The task orders are predominantly not set aside for small businesses, though several small businesses serve as subcontractors. Most task orders are structured with labor hour or firm fixed-price pricing mechanisms, with performance periods typically spanning three to five years. The work is primarily performed in the Washington, DC metropolitan area, supporting the NRC's technology infrastructure and operational requirements.
