Contract structure
- Multiple-award IDIQ competed full-and-open
- 1-year base + six 1-year option periods
- Used for State Department enterprise IT services
What this means
- State Dept enterprise IT now consolidates onto EVOLVE rather than spread across many smaller contracts
- Subcontract pipeline through 48 primes is significant — small/mid firms should map specialty capabilities to primes' weak areas
- Major incumbents (Leidos, SAIC) take 4 spots each — task-order competition will be intense
