GSA’s CIO Modernization and Enterprise Transformation II (COMET II) is a GSA Schedule Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) that will provide a streamlined approach to procuring various IT services. We will not see a point-based solicitation for COMET II, instead, GSA is going for a “show don’t tell” approach. Companies will need to convey their value through experience as well as a technical demo. With the previous solicitation being awarded as a Partial SB Set-Aside, COMET II is anticipated to follow that same award profile.
GSA provides the government with IT and Professional Services in which they develop applications and provide maintenance and modernization to current applications. Vendors pursuing COMET II will need to demonstrate expertise and knowledge in IT development and maintenance in technologies such as on-prem, Cloud, SaaS, and more.
Orders placed under the BPA will include one or more of the following overarching objectives:
Objective 1: Agile software development and maintenance
Objective 2: Solution/Application Design, Business Analysis, Development, Integration and Configuration
Objective 3: Data Management and Hygiene
Objective 4: Program Management Support
Objective 5: Release Management and Post-Implementation Maintenance Support
Objective 6: Support/Help Desk
Objective 7: Training and Change Management
Objective 8: FISMA Compliance/Cyber Security Support
Objectives 9: Responsible Innovation
In this article, we will explore the proposal response requirements, teaming, and what it will take for you to win. This information is based on the prior draft solicitation as well as the most recent PWS which was released by GSA on December 15, 2023.
