BLUF: Dell Federal Systems L.P. has been obligated $11,774,667 on a Department of Commerce computer services call order carrying a $15,087,624 ceiling.

The call order, numbered 1331L524F13350307, was signed May 24, 2024 by Commerce's Office of the Secretary and was placed against blanket purchase agreement 1331L524A13ES0005. Its base period of performance runs June 1, 2024 through May 31, 2026, with a potential end date of May 31, 2029 if options are exercised.

Why it matters: The award funds "other computer-related services" for the Office of the Secretary's Shared Services Program Office (SSPO), the unit that provides IT and administrative support functions across Commerce's departmental offices. The gap between the $11.8 million obligated so far and the $15.1 million ceiling — plus a potential three-year extension beyond the current base period — points to room for continued task growth on this vehicle if Commerce exercises further options.

By the numbers:

• Obligations to date: $11,774,667
• Contract ceiling (base and all options): $15,087,624
• Awarding office: Department of Commerce, Office of the Secretary (SSPO)
• Base period of performance: June 1, 2024 – May 31, 2026
• Potential period of performance end: May 31, 2029
• NAICS code: 541519 (Other Computer Related Services)
• Product/service code: DE10
• Underlying vehicle: BPA 1331L524A13ES0005

Blanket purchase agreements like this one let agencies place recurring task and delivery orders for commodity IT services without running a new competition each time, which is why the call carries a multi-year ceiling well above what has been obligated to date.
