- DHS OCIO is seeking contractors for its EPMS requirement
- Work covers development, operations and maintenance of internal DHS systems
- Everforth ECS is listed as the incumbent contractor
The Department of Homeland Security is preparing to compete a follow-on contract worth more than $100 million for enterprise IT support services across its components.
According to a notice published Tuesday on DHS’ Acquisition Planning Forecast System, the department expects to release a solicitation for the enterprise platform management support, or EPMS, requirement on Nov. 16.
Everforth ECS is listed as the incumbent contractor. The company, which changed its name from ECS in April after its parent company, ASGN, rebranded as Everforth, previously received a $23.9 million EPMS task order issued under DHS’ Architecture, Development and Platform Technical Services blanket purchase agreement, according to Homeland Security Today.
DHS Deputy Secretary Troy Edgar will deliver a keynote address at the Potomac Officers Club’s 2026 Homeland Security Summit on Nov. 10, which will feature discussions on emerging threats, AI-driven intelligence, border security and critical infrastructure protection. Sign up today.
What Is the Scope of the Planned EPMS Contract?
The DHS Office of the Chief Information Officer is seeking a contractor capable of designing, developing, operating and maintaining internal systems built on enterprise IT tools such as Atlassian, GitLab, Nexus, ServiceNow and SharePoint Online, as well as related cloud services and digital communication systems. The work also covers customer relationship management capabilities using Microsoft Power Platform and Microsoft Dynamics, as well as file-sharing and electronic-signature services.
The effort aims to provide secure, accessible and customer-focused digital services that meet mission needs and regulatory requirements.
How Will DHS Award the EPMS Contract?
DHS plans to compete the requirement through a call under a multiple-award blanket purchase agreement, or BPA, using a combination contract type. The procurement will not be set aside for small businesses. The contract is expected to run through March 18, 2032, with work performed in Springfield, Virginia.
What Other Enterprise IT Contracts Is DHS Pursuing?
In June, DHS began making awards on its Architecture, Development and Platform Technical Services 2.0, or ADaPTS 2.0, a five-year, $640 million BPA for technical and professional services to help manage the department’s IT programs. Everforth ECS, Ernst & Young and NetCentric Technology were among the four initial awardees, Washington Technology reported.
DHS is also preparing a BPA to renew and expand its Databricks licenses and services, which support the department’s enterprise data fabric.
