The acquisition is conducted under the Multiple Award Schedule program and Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 8. 401. The proposed contractor is ECS Federal, LLC. The services include application analysis, architectural design, engineering, development, maintenance, and support, requiring expertise in platforms such as Dynamics 365, Power Platform, SharePoint, Office 365, Azure, Dataverse, Confluence, Jira, and ServiceNow, as well as agile software development, project management, technical architecture, continuous integration, testing, configuration management, ongoing operations and maintenance, and cloud migration. The independent government cost estimate (IGCE) for this effort is $24,107,**** for a 12-month period of performance from April 20, 2026, to April 19, 2027.

The procurement for the new BPA is in the final evaluation phase. Going forward, competitive procedures will be used for this effort.
