designed to provide the Federal Government with Information Technology (IT) solutions.

The Commerce Information Technology Solutions Office (CITS) does not have projects 

designated for COMMITS NexGen program and they are not guaranteed to be 

forthcoming.  The COMMITS NexGen GWAC will provide agencies a low risk alternative 

of placing task orders with small businesses. However, agencies/potential clients of 

these contracts will make their own decisions on the benefits of utilizing the COMMITS 

NexGen pool of small businesses in this program for IT requirements. The requirements 

may range from simple to highly complex. At this time, the breakdown of contract types 

for task orders issued under COMMITS NexGen is unknown, as is the location of work 

and the breakdown of government site and contractor site work. Additionally, there is 

uncertainty regarding the amount of supplies, travel and other direct costs that will be 

required.
