USDA STRATUS Cloud Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) Pool 2: Integration and Development Support Services On-Ramp

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is seeking to on-ramp additional vendors onto the STRATUS Pool 2 Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) to provide integration and development support services, including managed services for cloud computing initiatives. This solicitation falls under NAICS code 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services) with a size standard of $34.0 million and encompasses 15 key service areas including cloud governance, strategy, platform architecture, migration, security, platform operations, CI/CD pipeline engineering, identity management, application development, and change management. Vendors must demonstrate prior experience through three examples with a minimum total contract value of $10 million within the last three years and must be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database. The evaluation will use a confidence rating system based on two factors: Prior Experience (more important) and Management/Technical Approach, with vendors required to achieve at least a High Confidence Rating in one factor to receive a BOA award. The quote submission deadline has been extended to July 25, 2025, at 3:00 PM ET, with all communications directed to Contracting Officer Christine Wallace.

This solicitation does not utilize any set-aside designations but establishes both Restricted (small business) and Unrestricted (large business) tracks, with the government currently maintaining 17 large business and 22 small business contractors on the existing STRATUS Pool 2 BOA. No specific contract values are disclosed for this on-ramp opportunity, though the government has identified 26 projected task order opportunities across multiple USDA agencies with estimated award dates ranging from FY25 Q4 to FY27 Q4. The BOA will have a 10-year ordering period with all on-ramp agreements expiring on April 9, 2034, while individual task orders placed against the BOA cannot exceed five years in duration. Performance will occur in Kansas City, Missouri, and contractors must comply with comprehensive security requirements including FedRAMP authorization, NIST standards, and USDA-specific cloud computing regulations.
