About this vehicle
The Department of State Bureau of Information Resource Management established the Hybrid Information Technology Services for State (HITSS) Master IDIQ on April 23, 2004, with a combined potential value of $1.63 billion. Ordering closed on October 22, 2012, and the vehicle is no longer active—the most recent task order award was December 1, 2012, more than 13 years ago.
The vehicle contracted systems and software analysis and development, computer programming, computer center operations, configuration management, software maintenance, testing and troubleshooting, computer security, technical writing, and document analysis across the Department of State's bureaus. Across 288 task orders, 71 percent of combined potential value ($1.15 billion) had been obligated by vehicle closure.
Competition concentrated among five primes capturing 66 percent of task orders by count: Creative Information Technology, Inc. (38 orders, $426.8 million potential value), Agtech, LLC (29 orders, $216.3 million), Worldwide Information Network Systems, Inc. (45 orders, $86.6 million), Access Systems, Incorporated (38 orders, $75.5 million), and Highpoint Digital, Inc. (39 orders, $53 million). By potential value, Creative Information Technology, Agtech, and Pragmatics, LLC (7 orders, $172.8 million) dominated—these three plus Acuity Inc. held 64 percent of combined potential value.
Customer concentration was acute: the Department of State Bureau of Information Resource Management alone placed 76 orders representing $649.9 million of potential value—61 percent of all orders across State's bureaus. The Bureau of Consular Affairs, Bureau of Administration, Bureau of International Information Programs, and Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs collectively accounted for the remaining activity.
Set-aside execution was heavily weighted to open competition: 67 percent of orders carried no set-aside designation. Competitive 8(a) awards comprised 26 percent; HUBZone and total small business each represented low single-digit percentages. Individual task-order ceilings ranged widely, from under $100,000 for small staffing or administrative tasks to over $43.5 million for a large OBO (Overseas Buildings Operations) order. Common order values fell between $500,000 and $3.5 million. Typical durations extended 12 to 36 months, with pricing models spanning labor-hour, firm fixed-price, and time-and-materials structures.
