Information Technology Solutions - Business Information Strategic Support III (ITS-BISS III)

The Environmental Protection Agency Office of Environmental Information established this Master IDIQ on July 25, 2017, to deliver information technology and information management technical and professional services, with emphasis on integrated program management support and independent assessments. Ordering closed on July 24, 2022, and the vehicle is no longer accepting new task orders.

The vehicle awarded 27 task orders with a combined potential value of $138.2 million, of which $53 million (38 percent) has been obligated. Order velocity declined sharply after the first year: 19 orders awarded in 2017, followed by 3 in 2018, 4 in 2020, and 1 in 2021, with the most recent award on April 15, 2021.

All 27 task orders are unrestricted—no set-aside designations apply. Work covers integrated program support, IT investment and portfolio management, information security and privacy program development, independent IT assessments, data management, role-based training, enterprise architecture planning, and support for EPA information systems including the Toxics Release Inventory, Compliance Data Exchange, and RCRA Information System.

International Business Machines Corporation dominates by potential value, holding 3 orders worth $59.1 million combined. Project Performance Company, LLC holds 3 orders totaling $28 million. General Dynamics Information Technology, Inc. (appearing as two distinct entries in the award data) holds 9 orders combined worth $24.2 million. Booz Allen Hamilton Inc. holds 7 orders worth $13.8 million. These four firms capture 97 percent of combined potential value.

EPA's Office of Administration and Resource Management funds 17 of the 27 orders and controls $120.5 million of the $138.2 million vehicle total—roughly 87 percent of the potential value. Other EPA offices (Land and Emergency Management, Region 3, Chief Financial Officer, and Chemical Safety and Pollution Prevention) account for the remainder.

Task-order ceilings range from under $100,000 to $39.2 million. Pricing is split between time-and-materials and firm-fixed-price structures. Most orders are multiyear; completion dates extend into 2023 and 2024, though the master IDIQ itself stopped accepting new orders in mid-2022.

ITS-BISS III will provide EPA with a broad range of information technology and information management (ITIM) technical and professional services with emphasis on integrated program management support services and independent assessments and support services. Collectively these services provides EPA with support for implementing key ITIM federal statutes and policies including the Clinger Cohen Act, Government Performance Results Act, Paperwork Reduction Act, Federal Information Security Management Act, and OMB Circulars. ITS-BISS III also provides services to support EPA information priorities such as implementing enterprise information tools and services.
