Information Technology Spending, Part 3: DHS & DOJ Business

GUEST AUTHOR:Jennifer Sakole, Principal Analyst, Federal Information Services, Deltek December 16, 2013 - Part 3 of 3. In this month's installment, we will look at trends in Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Department of Justice (DOJ) Information Technology (IT) business opportunities since calendar year (CY) 2011, as well as what to anticipate in CY 2014. Unlike previous years, there are no multi-billion dollar programs expected in CY 2014. One of the major shifts in IT opportunities Deltek is tracking for DHS in the coming year is that there are no high-dollar programs like: the $6 billion Continuous Diagnostics and Monitoring (CDM) and Continuous Monitoring as a Service (CMaaS), released in 2012 and awarded in August 2013; the $3 billion Enterprise Tactical Communications equipment and services (TACCOM), released in 2011 and awarded in 2012; or, the $3 billion First Source2, released in 2011 and awarded in 2013. In contrast, the largest value DHS IT opportunity anticipated for CY 2014 is the $1 billion Enterprise Applications Development Integration and Sustainment (EADIS). It is a similar story for DOJ but on a smaller scale. In previous years, top dollar value solicitations were in the half-billion dollar range, with: $496 million Enterprise Standard Architectures IV (ESA IV), released in 2011 and awarded in 2012; $450 million Information Technology Acquisition Program (ITAP), released in July 2013 and expected to be awarded in the near future; and, the$400 million Information Technology Services Contract (ITSC), also released in July 2013 and awarded in August 2013. In 2014, the highest value DOJ IT opportunity that Deltek is tracking is the National Criminal Justice Reference Service (NCJRS), with an estimated value of $42 million.

DHS has over 80 IT opportunities being tracked by Deltek that are expected to be released in 2014, with a combined value of $4.61 billion. In contrast, Deltek has identified less than 15 DOJ opportunities for 2014, totaling $146 million. As shown in the chart below, the bulk of DHS and DOJ IT opportunities anticipated are for IT Professional Services.

IBM is the incumbent; and, the task order is expected to expire in December 2014. FEMA may also have an ongoing requirement for production and technical services in support of Flood Risk Mapping, Analysis, and Planning Strategy. Deltek anticipates the solicitation in Q2FY2014, with an estimated value of $600 million. There are multiple incumbents; and, reported obligations on the program have ranged from $115 million to $171 million per year. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has a follow-on requirement for Security Equipment Integration and Evaluation (SESI) services. Deltek anticipates the solicitation in Q2FY2014, with an estimated value of $500 million. Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Boeing and Leidos are the incumbents. The Application Product Lines Enterprise Services (APLES) follow-on is out of the US Coast Guard (USCG) for software development, operations, and maintenance services. The Contracting Office stated that the incumbent contract (Digital Management, Inc.) is anticipated to expire on April 30, 2015, assuming all options are exercised. The Government plans for this effort to be re-competed in 2015; and, Deltek estimates activity to start in Q4FY2014. The estimated value is $290 million. The previous procurement was an 8(a) set-aside; and, Deltek anticipates this procurement will be the same. DOJ's Office of Justice Programs (OJP) may have a continuing requirement to outsource IT Professional Services to support the National Criminal Justice Reference Service (NCJRS). The solicitation is anticipated for release in Q2FY2014, with an estimated value of $42 million.
