CATTS is Coming Soon, $1.5B IDIQ from the Dept. of Commerce
5/11/22
This large vehicle has been pushed back to an undetermined date, but it’s a large one that should be on your radar if you handle BD for an IT firm. Previously expected to drop in June/July, the Commerce Acquisition for Transformational Technology Services (CATTS) is a multiple-award contract (MAC) IDIQ vehicle being issued by the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC). It was announced on back in November of 2021 and since then there have been 13 amendments.
The task orders in CATTS will be firm-fixed-price (FFP) or time-and-material/labor-hour basis and may also be performance-based. The period of performance will be ten years with a single base year and nine option years. The purpose of this vehicle will be on reducing costs related to both software and hardware modernization during planned three-to-five-year technology updates within DOC while expediting long-term business goals.
CATTS has six different task areas:
- Task Area 1: Chief Information Officer (CIO) Support
- Task Area 2: Digital Document and Records Management
- Task Area 3: Managed Service Outsourcing and Consulting
- Task Area 4: IT Operations and Maintenance
- Task Area 5: Information Technology Services Management
- Task Area 6: Cyber Security
As you can see, plenty of different service sectors are covered in the information technology space. CATTS is a brand-new federal vehicle so there are no incumbents in place.
