The U.S. Army Information Systems Engineering Command (USAISEC) at Fort Huachuca, AZ plans up to 10 multiple-award IDIQ contracts, called TEIS IV, for information systems engineering and IT support. Up to 4 of the awards are reserved for small businesses. Work is worldwide, includes classified work, and is ordered through competed task orders over a five-year ordering period. The combined ceiling is $800 million.
Who can bid (5)
- Open to all, but only up to 4 of the up to 10 awards are reserved for small businesses; the SAM.gov field says partial small business set-aside
- Security clearances required as set out in the DD Form 254, since parts of the work are classified
- Background investigation for every position that touches Government systems, even if no clearance is needed
Show all 5Show fewer
- Small business subcontracting plan, participation documentation and commitment document
- Joint ventures and teaming arrangements must follow FAR Subpart 9.6 and anti-trust laws
How to submit: due 30 Oct 2026 (the amendment moved the response date from 07 Oct 2026); SAM.gov field shows Oct 30, 2026, 4:00 PM MDT · 6:00 PM Eastern. What to include is under Full summary below. Check the solicitation's instructions on SAM.gov.
Things to watch (7)
- Serious: Classified work and clearances. Selected contractors must hold the clearances in the DD 254, and the highest-level clearances may be needed, which many small businesses do not have.
- Serious: Very large, multi-volume proposal. Five volumes (including past performance, cost realism and a small business commitment document) against an $800 million ceiling means heavy proposal work and strong competition.
- Worth checking: Tiny guaranteed minimum. Each contract only guarantees $1,000, so revenue depends entirely on winning competed task orders.
Show all 7Show fewer
- Worth checking: Cost factor applies to small businesses too. Small businesses are evaluated on cost with realism adjustments and a 1.4469 multiplier, and about 65% of the work is expected to be cost-plus-fixed-fee; the text provided does not say what accounting-system proof is required.
- Worth checking: Remote, hostile and overseas work. Task orders may send staff to remote or hostile locations and overseas, where the contractor must obtain its own theatre and travel paperwork at its own cost.
- Minor: Date passed (Oct 30, 2026): Solicitation changed during the process. The amendment moved the due date from 07 Oct to 30 Oct 2026 and doubled the maximum value from $400 million to $800 million, so make sure you use the conformed copy.
- Minor: Small business participation is a scored factor. Even small primes are rated on commitment to use small firms, and a 20% MQR alone does not guarantee a good rating.
