MAKING
THE MOST OF
NETCENTS-2
The suite of contracts for IT products, infrastructure solutions and application services is mandatory for the Air Force. But it can be a valuable option for other agencies as well.

The second iteration of the Network-Centric Solutions (NetCents-2) contract is a massive acqui- sition vehicle made up of multiple indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contracts that offer long-term access to a broad range of IT products, services and solutions from more than 75 vendors, large and small.
The combined contract ceiling of more than $22 billion was even higher before the Enterprise Integration and Ser- vice Management contract closed for orders late last year.
