State Department clears last protest, finalizes awards for $10B Evolve IT vehicle

The State Department has cleared up the last protest facing its $10 billion Evolve IT services vehicle and announced the final group of 48 contract awards across five functional categories.

Evolve will be the department’s primary vehicle for enterprise IT services across the five categories: IT management, cloud and data center, application development, network and telecommunications, and customer/end-user support.

The department's journey to finalize these awards has been long and uneven. With Evolve, the department is consolidating 11 existing contracts into a single multiple award vehicle.

Evolve has a one-year base and six one-year options. The department released the final solicitation in December 2022.

In June 2025, the department made a first set of awards for the application development portion and that drew protests.

In October 2025, the department made 12 awards for the cloud and data center services portion and five awards for network and telecommunications services. Protests also followed those awards too.

Most of the protests resulted in corrective action by the State Department.

But Alpha Omega Integration filed a second protest in January after the State Department again decided not to award the company a contract. That new protest resulted in the department taking a second corrective action to re-evaluate the company’s proposal.

The State Department's Thursday announcement lists all of the winners, including Alpha Omega. That final corrective action appears to have done the trick for the company, which secured a spot in the IT management services category alongside 10 other companies.

A total of 14 companies won spots on the cloud and data center services category, while the application development category has 13 winners.

The network and telecommunications services category has six winner. Four companies won spots on the customer and end user support category.

State awarded a total of 48 contracts across the five categories, but 12 companies appear in multiple categories with 16 winning in merely a single portion.
