The U.S. Department of State is considering making one of its largest global supply chain management contracts a small-business set aside, according to a sources-sought notice released July 24.
The Integrated Logistics Management System (ILMS) would be a massive opportunity for a small business, as the incumbent contract has generated more than $1.1 billion for Accenture PLC since March 2009. Accenture’s ILMS contract runs through the end of the 2020 fiscal year, though some task orders may run as far as the end of the 2023 fiscal year.
The ILMS supports the requisition, procurement, warehousing, distribution, transportation, receipt, and tracking of goods and services in more than 178 countries around the world, according to attached documents. Each year, the system manages nearly $11 billion in goods and medical supplies, $8.8 billion in federal assistance, and $5.5 billion in other financial assets.
