National Labor Relations Board ITSS

The National Labor Relations Board established a Master BPA for information technology and systems support services with a shared ceiling of $45 million, awarding it on April 18, 2023, with ordering authority through April 17, 2028.

Ordering remains open with approximately 21 months of authority remaining. The vehicle is lightly active: six task orders have been awarded since inception, with five concentrated in the initial award month (April 2023) and only one placed in 2025. Combined task-order potential value stands at $22.9 million against the $45 million ceiling, with $21.3 million already obligated (93% of awarded potential). This high obligation rate reflects the front-loaded award pattern and suggests limited near-term expansion within the current awardee base.

Scope spans operations and maintenance for mission systems, administrative systems, and specialized platforms (JCMS), alongside developer support for the OAS system and customer experience services including training and documentation. All work is performed for the NLRB as sole customer.

Competitive structure is heavily concentrated. Global Alliant Inc. holds five of six awards totaling $21.6 million in potential value (94% of the vehicle's awarded work). Asrc Federal Data Solutions, LLC accounts for the remaining award, valued at $1.3 million. Four of six orders are competitive 8(a) awards; two are total small business set-asides. Task-order values range from approximately $738,000 to $7.6 million, with most firm fixed-price arrangements completed or nearing completion by mid-2027.

For firms not already established on this vehicle, entry is constrained. The dominant awardee position and high obligation rate of existing awards limit available capacity. Remaining ceiling of approximately $22.1 million could support incremental task orders, but the ordering trend (no awards in 2024, one in 2025) suggests modest new work opportunity. Competitive 8(a) eligibility would be required for most available competition, as the two small business slots appear locked by initial awardees.
