Independent Verification And Validation Support Services

The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) established this Master Blanket Purchase Agreement to provide Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) support services across the Department of Defense and related federal organizations. IV&V services under this vehicle encompass technical assessment, quality assurance, and independent evaluation of information technology systems, software development projects, and cybersecurity initiatives. The Master BPA, awarded on January 20, 2017, with a shared ceiling of $80,000,000, was structured to enable rapid task order issuance to multiple prime contractors through January 22, 2021, allowing federal agencies to access specialized verification and validation expertise without conducting individual full and open competitions for each requirement.

While specific task order details are not provided in the available documentation, the Master BPA structure indicates that participating prime contractors compete for individual task orders across various IV&V domains, including systems engineering validation, software testing oversight, compliance verification, and risk assessment services. Task orders under such vehicles typically range from several hundred thousand to several million dollars in value with performance periods of one to three years, though specific contract values and durations cannot be confirmed without additional task order data. The shared ceiling structure and DISA sponsorship suggest that task orders likely support Department of Defense information systems modernization efforts and major acquisition programs, with performance conducted both at government facilities and contractor locations, potentially including on-site support at DISA and other Defense agency headquarters.
