About the company
IDC Research, Inc., a for-profit corporate entity headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, delivers IT market intelligence, technology advisory, and research subscription services to federal civilian agencies exclusively as a prime contractor under GSA Multiple Award Schedule pricing, with no subcontract footprint and no set-aside certifications. The vendor competes on full-and-open, firm fixed-price terms across a portfolio of 83 awards spanning more than two decades.
IDC Research's capability footprint centers on three concrete service areas. The first is technology hardware sourcing and evaluation support — the vendor holds a $1 million blanket purchase agreement with the Social Security Administration (established September 2020, with recurring annual call orders typically valued between $130,000 and $145,000) for IT hardware assessment and acquisition consulting. The second is ICT spending data, analytics, and research subscriptions — exemplified by a $73,105.50 delivery order from the International Trade Administration (March 2026) for Information and Communication Technology spending data and analysis, a $34,500 AI data subscription from the Bureau of Economic Analysis (March 2026), and a $249,370 research subscription and services award from the Bureau of Engraving and Printing (February 2023, option year exercise). The third is web-based information services and portals — including a $321,648.60 International Trade Administration delivery order (September 2023) for web search portals and information services. GSA Schedule labor offerings span six categories from Junior Consulting Analyst at $141.05 per hour (associate's degree, two years experience) through Vice President/Executive Subject Matter Expert at $463.45 per hour (master's degree, ten years experience), with no security-cleared roles offered.
Customer concentration is diffuse by award count but heavily skewed by dollar value. The top five customers by award count (Bureau of Economic Analysis, National Nuclear Security Administration, Internal Revenue Service, Social Security Administration, and International Trade Administration) represent 39% of all awards, while a different top-five cluster by potential value (GSA Office of the Chief Information Officer at $14.8 million, Department of the Interior Departmental Offices Chief Information Officer at $10 million, GSA Federal Acquisition Service, Social Security Administration, and International Trade Administration) accounts for 87% of combined potential value. This reflects two outlier intelligence or advisory contracts anchoring the portfolio's dollar magnitude while smaller research and subscription orders distribute across many civilian agencies. IDC Research operates entirely through the GSA Multiple Award Schedule, with 29 task orders carrying $29.2 million in combined potential value and two IT Schedule 70 task orders worth $369 thousand.
Activity has declined from a peak of five awards in 2021 to two in 2024 and three in 2026 year-to-date, though the portfolio carries $34.7 million in combined potential value against $7.2 million in obligated dollars (21% draw). Only three awards face completion in the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $128 thousand), indicating limited near-term recompete exposure.
