Information Technology Enterprise Solutions - Software (ITES-SW)

The Department of the Army Acquisition Support Center, PEO Enterprise Information Systems, established this Master IDIQ for commercial off-the-shelf software products and services holding a full Certificate of Networthiness, covering IT Utility & Security, Modeling & Simulation, Multimedia & Design, and Program & Development categories. Ordering closed on February 10, 2020—over six years ago—making this vehicle inactive for new orders. The vehicle was superseded by Information Technology Enterprise Solutions-Software 2, awarded August 31, 2020.

Despite the closed ordering period, the vehicle continues to execute under existing task orders. Of 949 total awards issued between February 2015 and April 2024, ordering activity has slowed dramatically: 2019 and 2020 saw peak years with 173 and 195 orders respectively, but 2021–2024 combined yielded only 8 orders as the portfolio matured. The combined potential value across all task orders stands at $162.5 million, with $126.1 million obligated (78 percent). A single mega-order—W52P1J15D0006-W15QKN20F0548 for MATLAB/Simulink software and maintenance—carries a ceiling value of $1.076 billion, representing an outlier in the portfolio.

Competition concentrates heavily among three primes: Carahsoft Technology Corp holds 436 orders worth $68.4 million combined potential value, Four LLC holds 427 orders worth $64 million, and Immixtechnology Inc. holds 86 orders worth $30.2 million. These three firms capture 100 percent of awarded task orders. The set-aside mix is overwhelmingly unrestricted—917 orders (97 percent) carry no set-aside designation. Small business orders represent only 2 percent of activity, with 8(a) sole-source and woman-owned small business accounting for 1 percent combined.

Customer concentration remains dispersed across 117 distinct funding agencies, though the top five customers account for 37 percent of task-order volume. Department of the Army Materiel Command Research Development and Engineering Command leads with 144 orders worth $24.4 million combined potential value, followed by the Army Medical Command (68 orders, $3.1 million) and Army headquarters offices. Task orders fund a broad range of Army mission areas and technical disciplines, from software licenses (Splunk, ServiceNow, MATLAB, Veeam) to specialized tools (Alteryx, Tableau, modeling suites, security software).

Because the ordering ceiling has closed, this vehicle offers no path for new prime awards or competitive entry. Subcontracting opportunities under the three incumbents remain available as they execute their existing task-order portfolios, but the vehicle's role as a procurement vehicle for new Army software buys has fully transitioned to its successor.

The scope of the Information Technology Enterprise Solutions - Software contract includes COTS software products and related services that have obtained a full Certificate of Networthiness (CoN) applicable under the categories IT Utility & Security, Modeling & Simulation, Multimedia & Design, Program & Development. Ordering is open to the Army.
