Contracting for Information Technology Services

Abstract

Federal agencies spend billions of dollars annually acquiring information technology (IT) services from thousands of contractors using a variety of contracting methods. IT services include computer and telecommunication services, as well as the testing,quality control, installation, and operation of computer equipment. You asked us to provide information on how federal spending on IT services has changed in recent years and how that spending currently is distributed among companies of varioussizes. In particular, you asked that we include data on medium-size companies because some medium-size companies have expressed concern about the share of IT services spending they receive. We define medium-size companies as those withannual revenues from all sources between $21 million and $500 million.
