NHEITC IT Support Services

The Naval Higher Education Information Technology Consortium (NHEITC) IT Support Services is a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle established to provide comprehensive information technology support across 17 critical support categories for naval educational institutions. The contract covers a wide range of technical services including application development, web and mobile application services, computer network defense, learning management system support, network infrastructure maintenance, enterprise architecture, IT service center support, and various specialized technical and systems administration functions. Awarded in July 2017, the contract enables naval educational institutions, specifically the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS), Naval War College (NWC), and United States Naval Academy (USNA), to rapidly procure specialized IT support services across multiple disciplines.

Task orders under this IDIQ demonstrate a consistent focus on specialized IT support services, with contract values ranging from $32,781 to over $16 million and typical performance periods between six months to five years. Prime contractors frequently include Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) such as Epsilon Inc., Network & Simulation Technologies Inc. (Netsimco), Creek Technologies Company, and Advanced Onion Inc. The majority of task orders are firm fixed-price contracts, with a few cost-plus fixed-fee arrangements, predominantly supporting the Naval Education and Training Command's IT infrastructure in locations like Monterey, California, and Newport, Rhode Island. While most task orders did not have specific small business set-asides, several were awarded to veteran-owned or service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, reflecting a commitment to supporting these business categories.
