GSA MAS

Contract No. GS-35F-178CA

For most federal, state, and local buyers, our GSA Schedule is the fastest way to put Ariel Partners on contract. Rates, terms, and compliance are already negotiated and approved, which means there is no individual competitive solicitation to run and no months of lead time to absorb. Your contracting officer moves from requirement to award in weeks.

Three active Special Item Numbers cover the full arc of a modernization program. 54151S carries our Agile software delivery, DevSecOps, application services, and AI and machine learning work. 541611 covers management consulting, acquisition and grants management support, and program and project management. 581210C covers cloud migration, cloud-native development, and the professional services that surround them. A single order can draw on all three, so one team stays accountable from strategy through delivery and sustainment.

MAS is also the most flexible vehicle we hold, which makes it the right place to start when a requirement is still taking shape. Contact our team and we will help you scope it before the solicitation goes out.

NASA SEWP VI

Contract Nos. 80TECH26D0012 (Category B) and 80TECH26D0223 (Category C)

Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement is the highest-volume IT vehicle in the federal government, and SEWP VI is the first generation to treat services as a first-class category rather than an adjunct to product buys. Ariel Partners holds direct prime awards in both service categories: Category B for enterprise-wide modernization of agency IT, communications, and audiovisual infrastructure, and Category C for mission-based services including digital government solutions, data processing and analytics, cybersecurity, IT management and consulting, systems engineering, telecommunications, and network operations.

Holding both matters. Most agency modernization efforts are not cleanly one or the other. They involve rebuilding infrastructure while simultaneously standing up the mission capability that runs on it, and splitting that across two vehicles introduces a seam exactly where you least want one. Under SEWP VI, an agency can put both halves in front of the same team.

SEWP is also built for speed. Quote requests go out through the program’s own tool and come back in days rather than weeks, the surcharge is among the lowest of any governmentwide vehicle, and the SEWP Program Management Office provides scope review and acquisition support to buyers at no cost. With a ten-year ordering period reaching October 2036, this is the longest runway of any vehicle we hold, long enough to scope a multi-year program without a re-compete of the vehicle underneath it.

GSA POLARIS WOSB

Contract No. 47QTCC26DW007 | Held by Ariel BCT Partners, LLC

POLARIS is GSA’s next-generation IT governmentwide acquisition contract, and unlike the broader professional services vehicles it was scoped specifically for the technology agencies are standing up right now. Artificial intelligence, robotic process automation, IT security, software development, systems design, and blockchain are all named in scope, along with the ancillary support and equipment integral to delivering a working solution. There is no ceiling. Task orders can be fixed-price, cost-reimbursement, labor-hour, or time-and-materials, so the contract structure follows the risk profile of the work rather than the reverse.

Ariel Partners holds this position through Ariel BCT Partners, our joint venture with BCT Partners, named by Forbes one of America’s Best Management Consulting Firms. The pairing targets a specific kind of problem: technology programs whose success is judged by program outcomes rather than system uptime. Ariel Partners brings Agile delivery, DevSecOps, cloud, and AI engineering. BCT brings precision analytics, predictive modeling, and operating experience across health, labor, education, housing, and grants administration. For an agency modernizing the systems behind a public benefit or social program, that combination covers both halves of the job.

GSA OASIS+ WOSB

Contract No. 47QRCA24DW099 | Held by ICES-AP JV

OASIS+ is built for the requirements that refuse to sit in one category: professional services, technical services, and IT delivered together against a single complex mission need. Rather than splitting the work across three procurements and hoping the seams hold, an agency can compete one task order and hold one team accountable for the outcome.

Ariel Partners holds this position through ICES-AP JV, our joint venture with Intelligence Consulting Enterprise Solutions. The combination is deliberate. ICES brings decades of intelligence community and Department of Defense experience in enterprise architecture, data analytics, digital engineering, and Model-Based Systems Engineering. Ariel Partners brings Agile delivery, DevSecOps, cloud modernization, and the program governance to keep a large effort on schedule. Together the joint venture covers a requirement from architecture and requirements definition through build, deployment, and sustainment.

Because the vehicle is set aside for SBA-certified Women-Owned Small Businesses, the award counts toward your agency’s WOSB participation goals without any separate justification. There is no master ceiling to design around, terms are already competed, and task orders can be set aside directly to the WOSB pool.

GSA OASIS+ Total SB

Contract No. 47QRCA25DSC07 | Held by ICES-AP JV

Ariel Partners holds positions on both the Women-Owned and the Total Small Business pools of OASIS+, which matters more than it may sound. Whether a task order is set aside for WOSB or competed across the broader small business pool depends on the Rule of Two and the market at that moment, and it is not always a call the program office controls. Whichever way that decision goes, the same team is reachable through the same joint venture. No re-competition, no new vendor to qualify, no restart.

Use this position when the requirement spans disciplines and a small business set-aside is the right procurement answer, but the work itself is anything but small. Through ICES-AP JV, our joint venture with Intelligence Consulting Enterprise Solutions, a single task order can draw on Agile software delivery, DevSecOps, cloud modernization, data analytics, enterprise architecture, digital engineering, and program governance, with one team accountable from requirements definition through deployment and sustainment.

OASIS+ carries pre-competed terms, a continuous on-ramp that keeps the vendor pool current, and no master ceiling to size a program against. Set the task order aside for small business and compete it directly against the pool.

MDA SHIELD

Contract No. HQ085926DF512

SHIELD, formally Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense, is how the Missile Defense Agency buys. At a $151 billion program ceiling across 19 mission work areas, it is the acquisition backbone for the layered defense mission and the Golden Dome for America initiative, structured so MDA and other defense components can move a requirement to award quickly rather than running a fresh competition for each one.

MDA built SHIELD as a wide enterprise, with thousands of companies holding seats across the mission work areas. That design is deliberate: the vehicle exists to open the aperture, and the real evaluation happens at the task order. Ariel Partners competes on the software and digital side of that mission. Command and control software, data integration and analytics, digital engineering, systems engineering support, cybersecurity, and the program governance to hold a complex effort to schedule.

This is the vehicle our practice was built for. Mission Critical Agile is not a slogan we apply to low-stakes work: it is a delivery approach for programs where reliability, security, and compliance are load-bearing, where an authorizing official has to sign off on every release, and where iterating fast and iterating safely are not allowed to be in tension. Missile defense is the sharpest version of that problem in the federal portfolio.

Contract No.: HQ085926DF512

Administering Agency: Missile Defense Agency (MDA)

Type: Multiple Award, Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ)

Period of Performance: Base period December 29, 2025 to December 28, 2028. Option periods, if exercised, extend ordering through December 28, 2035.

Contract Ceiling: $151 billion total program ceiling across all awardees. Ceilings apply per individual task order.

Eligible Agencies: Missile Defense Agency and other Department of Defense components.

Navy SeaPort-NxG

Contract No. N0017819D8460

SeaPort-NxG is the Navy’s mandatory vehicle for acquiring engineering, technical, and programmatic support services, which means that for a large class of requirements it is not one option among several. It is the path. Its reach is also wider than the name suggests: ordering spans NAVSEA, NAVAIR, NAVWAR, NAVFAC, and NAVSUP, plus the Office of Naval Research, Military Sealift Command, and the Marine Corps, across 23 functional areas covering engineering services and program management services.

It is also the fastest competition mechanism of any defense vehicle we hold. SeaPort runs on an electronic platform: the activity posts the requirement, awardees respond, and the order is made. There is no separate vehicle approval to secure and no open-market solicitation to run. Task orders awarded inside the ordering period may continue up to five years beyond it, so a program started here has the runway to finish rather than facing a re-compete mid-effort.

Ariel Partners competes across the engineering and program management service areas, bringing Agile software delivery, DevSecOps, systems engineering, and program governance to Navy and Marine Corps requirements. Our work is aimed at the programs where schedule and reliability carry operational consequence, and where the modernization has to happen without taking the current system out of service.

Contract No.: N0017819D8460

Administering Agency: Department of the Navy, Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA). SeaPort contracting is administered through Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division.

Type: Multiple Award Contract (MAC) / Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ)

Eligible Agencies: Department of the Navy, including NAVSEA, NAVAIR, NAVWAR, NAVFAC, NAVSUP, the Office of Naval Research, Military Sealift Command, and the United States Marine Corps. Other Department of Defense components may order. Other federal agencies may order under an Economy Act determination per FAR 17.5.

DISA ENCORE III

ENCORE III is DISA’s enterprise vehicle for information technology services and one of the largest in the department, carrying a $17.5 billion ceiling across its awardee suites. The scope is deliberately wide: engineering and development, IT operations, cloud services, cybersecurity, network support, program management, and full system sustainment in support of the Department of Defense Joint Information Environment. For a program office, that breadth means one vehicle can carry a modernization effort from architecture through steady-state operations without a second procurement in the middle of it.

The Small Business Set-Aside suite is a deliberately narrow field. A task order competed here runs against a small, pre-qualified pool rather than an open market, which shortens the evaluation and produces a stronger field of offers. Ariel Partners’ position gives DoD components, intelligence community customers, and other federal agencies operating under an Economy Act determination direct access to our engineering and modernization work, while satisfying small business goals in the same action.

Most of what we do on this vehicle lives in the hard middle of a modernization program: keeping systems that cannot go down safely in service while replacing what sits underneath them. Agile delivery, DevSecOps, systems engineering, and disciplined change management, executed inside DoD security and accreditation constraints rather than around them.

Administering Agency: Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA)

Type: Multiple Award, Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ)

DIA SITE III

SITE III is the Defense Intelligence Agency’s enterprise IT vehicle, a $12.6 billion, ten-year IDIQ supporting DIA, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, and the wider defense intelligence enterprise. Its scope covers enterprise services, infrastructure development and sustainment, application development and sustainment, core function support, and cybersecurity, delivered across classified and unclassified programs on multiple security domains.

Ariel Partners supports SITE III as a teaming partner to prime awardee IMTAS on the Small Business IDIQ track. Our contribution is the work we do best in constrained environments: Agile delivery, Human Centered Design, knowledge management, DevSecOps, and cybersecurity engineering. Task orders are competed and awarded to IMTAS, and our teams perform under that contract.

Delivering inside the intelligence community is the harder half of modernization, because the security boundary shapes every design decision and every release. Cleared teams, accreditation-aware architecture, and change management that satisfies both the mission owner and the authorizing official are not add-ons to the work here. They are the work.

FBI ITSSS-2 BPA

ITSSS-2 is the largest IT contract vehicle the FBI has ever established and the Bureau’s primary path for acquiring IT services over the next eight years. It succeeds the original ITSSS, through which the FBI obligated more than $2 billion. At an estimated $8 billion across 95 awardees, it is where FBI IT requirements go now.

Its reach extends past the Bureau. ITSSS-2 is available to all Department of Justice components, which means a DOJ office with an IT requirement can use a vehicle already competed, already populated with vetted vendors, and already carrying standardized ordering procedures. Sixty-four of the 95 awardees are small businesses, so a set-aside decision does not shrink the field to a handful of names.

Ariel Partners’ scope covers IT system development and support, software and hardware acquisition, network and communications management, cybersecurity and information assurance, technical and engineering support, and IT operations and maintenance. The through line in our law enforcement and national security work is modernization that does not interrupt an operational mission: secure software delivery, disciplined change management, and architecture that satisfies the authorizing official and the agent in the field at the same time.

Administering Agency: Federal Bureau of Investigation, Procurement Section

Type: Multiple Award Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA)

Contract Ceiling: $8 billion estimated program value across all awardees. Ceilings apply per individual call.

DOJ ITSS-5

TSS-5 is the Justice Management Division’s dedicated vehicle for IT support across Department of Justice bureaus, offices, boards, and divisions. For a DOJ component, it removes an entire step from the front of a procurement: there is no outside vehicle to identify, justify, or get approved. Terms are set, the pool is qualified, and the competition happens inside it.

The scope reaches across the full systems development lifecycle, covering large-scale systems integration alongside the integration, modification, and maintenance of systems already in service. Application development and modernization, cloud services, cybersecurity, data analytics, infrastructure operations, enterprise architecture, program management, and network engineering all sit within it, defined per task order against the requesting component’s requirements.

One timing note worth stating plainly: ITSS-5 stops accepting orders on September 30, 2027. For a DOJ component with a near-term requirement, that makes this the fastest route available right now. For a program being scoped to start beyond that date, talk to us about GSA MAS or OASIS+ instead, both of which carry years of additional runway and reach DOJ just as well.

Administering Agency: Department of Justice, Justice Management Division

Type: Competitive Multiple Award, Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ)

Eligible Agencies: Department of Justice bureaus and Offices, Boards, and Divisions. ITSS-5 is not a governmentwide vehicle and is scoped specifically to DOJ.

Award Tracks: Two tracks, a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business track and an unrestricted track open to contractors of any size. Approximately 12 awards were planned, split roughly evenly between the two.
