The Technical, Acquisition and Business Support Services (TABSS) is a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract vehicle established by the United States Coast Guard on behalf of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The vehicle is designed to provide comprehensive professional and technical support services across three primary domains: Program Management, Engineering and Technology Support Services; Business, Financial Management and Audit Support Services; and Contract Management Support Services. Originally solicited to replace numerous disparate contracts and existing Blanket Purchase Agreements, the TABSS vehicle enables DHS components to efficiently acquire a wide range of specialized support services with flexibility and strategic alignment.

Task orders under the TABSS vehicle demonstrate significant diversity, with values ranging from approximately $50,000 to over $11 million and typical performance periods between 12-24 months. Frequent prime contractors include Versar National Security Solutions LLC, Zantech IT Services, Avantus Federal LLC, and Information Technology Coalition Inc. The vehicle supports multiple DHS agencies including the Coast Guard, Transportation Security Administration, Customs and Border Protection, and the Science and Technology Directorate. Set-aside designations vary widely, with task orders designated for small businesses, 8(a) firms, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, and unrestricted competition. Pricing mechanisms include firm fixed price, time and materials, and labor hour contracts. Performance locations appear to be primarily in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, with some task orders specifying work at specific Coast Guard facilities nationwide.
