About this vehicle
The Internal Revenue Service awarded Total Information Processing Support Services 3 (TIPSS-3), a master IDIQ with a shared ceiling of $10 billion, on October 28, 2005; ordering closed on December 23, 2016, making this vehicle inactive for pursuit. TIPSS-3 has a successor vehicle, Total Information Processing Support Services 4, awarded in December 2010.
The vehicle contracted information systems services, system security services, and strategic business services across 246 task orders. Activity peaked in 2007 with 54 orders but declined sharply thereafter, with only one order issued in 2011. The combined potential value of awarded task orders reached $3.72 billion, with $2.77 billion obligated (75% utilization).
Competition concentrated heavily among four primes. Booz Allen Hamilton led with 48 orders valued at $728.6 million combined potential, followed by Leidos Management Systems Designers with 35 orders at $557.6 million, IBM with 24 orders at $508.7 million, and Accenture with 10 orders at $505.2 million. These four firms held 72% of combined potential value, though a broader set of 25 primes shared awards. The top five by order count covered 59% of task orders. Nearly all work (97% of orders) carried no set-aside designation; 3% were partially set aside for small business.
Funding came almost exclusively from the Internal Revenue Service, which placed 225 orders valued at $3.15 billion combined potential. Three other Treasury components accounted for $472.9 million across 8 orders, and Customs and Border Protection placed 5 orders totaling $268.2 million.
Task orders ranged widely in value, from under $100,000 to over $260 million. The largest single order was to Booz Allen Hamilton for Automated Targeting Systems Maintenance at $260.9 million. Most orders employed cost-plus pricing (fixed fee or incentive) and firm fixed-price arrangements. Typical durations extended four to six years, with completion dates spread across 2007 through 2019. Work performed at IRS and Treasury facilities, with some execution at contractor locations for systems engineering and application development roles.
