The FBI has been working on a recompete of its central IT services contract for more than 20 months but contracting officers said they are close to announcing a shortlist of vendors moving on to the second phase of the solicitation process.
The bureau began working on a recompete of IT Supplies and Support Services, also known as ITSSS or IT Triple-S, in March 2018. Since that time, the contract has gone through several procurement strategies, with officials ultimately opting for a blanket purchase agreement using vendors off the General Services Administration’s IT Schedule 70. The contract was also given a new name earlier this year, now dubbed IT Enterprise Contract Services, or ITECS.
