A research request was recently provided to OS AI from a woman-led service-disabled Veteran-owned small business consultancy that has past performance as a Prime or major sub on 9 different contracts across DHS at CBP, USCG, ICE and USCIS, looking for details related to a potential FY 2023 competition for this Department of Homeland Security US Coast Guard blanket purchase agreement contract.  

We at OrangeSlices AI do believe in the need for more and better-informed competition, so provided below are 1) opportunity details provided by the requestor; 2) some key points of contact; 3) related pursuit/capture data; and 4) when possible, projected odds of this contract going back to the incumbent.  

Competitive Details (if known) related to the predecessor contract: 

Scope: The scope of this Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) which combines two current contracts into one “is to obtain staff augmentation for non-inherently Government tasking for Contractor Consulting, Project Management and Support, Strategic Planning, Portfolio Management, Business Process Planning, Process Integration Planning, Facilities Planning, Marketing and Communications Planning Services, Life Cycle Cost Estimation Services, expert highly specialized and complex Acquisitions Lifecycle Support, Enterprise Life Cycle Logistics and Engineering Support. Work is to include: Material, Configuration, Business, and Inventory Management, Logistics Supply Support, and Planned Maintenance Development Support Services. These services shall support the missions and requirements of the C5I Service Center (C5ISC); the Coast Guard Chief Information Officer’s (CIO) Office, Commandant (CG-4, CG-6, CG-7, and CG-93); and Coast Guard Cyber Command (CGCC). The Contractor shall provide services to support CGCYBER with CSSP program maturation and recertification, process development, and project management across the command. The support services shall provide support for the missions and requirements for operations, management, analysis, and other business and logistics functions that support the successful accomplishment of C5ISC, CIO; CG-6; and CGCC missions and requirements across afloat, air, deployable specialized forces, and ashore platforms at multiple locations.”

What are the odds of the incumbent company winning this contract as a Prime again?  

The OS AI Bot is unable to calculates the odds of the incumbent wins this contract back given that this is a consolidation. If this was a recompete of each individual contract, the OS AI bot shows 45% for TeleSolv and 60% for D&G. The BPA competitions drew 10 and 7 bidders respectively the last time they were competed, and you can expecte a similar level of interest, if not more, for this requirement.
