This second iteration of the Microsoft Enterprise Services contract was reserved for small businesses and covers work across the entire lifecycle of the brand name offerings.
The Navy has awarded eight companies positions on a five-year, $1.5 billion contract vehicle for enterprise support and engineering services focused on Microsoft products and cloud services.
Only small businesses could pursue this second iteration of the Microsoft Enterprise Services contract, for which Navy officials received 15 bids in total.
The Defense Department’s Wednesday awards digest describes MES II as part of the larger DOD Enterprise Software Initiative, which seeks to consolidate acquisitions of commercially-available software at the department level. Intelligence agencies and the Coast Guard also rely on DOD ESI for some of their commercial IT buying.
MES II is the successor contract to a prior iteration that DOD awarded on a sole-source basis to Microsoft in 2019. GovTribe data indicates DOD has obligated $553.6 million in order volume against that contract, which had a $1.8 billion ceiling value and expired in January 2024.
Awardees for the new contract are as follows:
- Applied Cloud & Development Technologies
- AtechGov
- Bennett Adelson Professional Services
- ClearPro Partners
- Client First Technologies
- Innovatus Technology Consulting
- Practical Solutions
- True Tandem
Navy officials structured the new contract to support the entire IT lifecycle that includes enterprise-wide and organization-specific architectural planning, implementation, deployment and infrastructure optimization services.
