The new BPA will have a one-year base period and four option years.
Why Is the State Department’s ExecTech Office Seeking Industry Input?
ExecTech is seeking information as part of a market research effort in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation. The office also aims to identify qualified 8(a) businesses capable of providing IT support services under the proposed follow-on BPA.
Improvix Technologies, an 8(a) program participant, currently provides IT services for ExecTech under a BPA. The two remaining task orders under the agreement are due to expire on May 15.
