Summary of Award
The contract under review is a Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) awarded to C & S Jones Group LLC, identified by the unique award ID "CONT_IDV_47QTCA21D002Q_4732" and signed on December 9, 2020.

### Recipient Overview

It is classified as a Black American Owned Business, a Minority Owned Business, and a Small Business. Additionally, it holds certifications as a HUBZone Firm and is a self-certified Small Disadvantaged Business recognized by the Department of Transportation. This diversity in classification underpins its commitment to providing specialized services while promoting diversity and inclusion within the federal contracting landscape.
### Nature of the Contract
The contract pertains to "Custom Computer Programming Services" under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 541511. The focus is on IT and Telecom solutions, specifically business application and application development support services. These services are critical to government operations, ensuring efficient and customized IT solutions that adapt to various departmental needs.
Given the contract's Total Maximum Value of $475,000, the arrangement is a Fixed Price with Economic Price Adjustment, indicating that while the prices are initially fixed, they can be adjusted in response to economic conditions over the contract period.
### Awarding and Funding Agency
Both the awarding and funding agencies for this contract are under the General Services Administration's umbrella, specifically the Federal Acquisition Service (FAS). This reflects the GSA's strategic role in procuring and supplying products and services that operating agencies require for effective function. The GSA's involvement emphasizes the contract’s importance in supporting the federal government's seamless technology operations.
### Competitive Landscape
The contract was awarded following a full and open competition, highlighted by the receipt of 999 offers. This competitive process ensures that the government secures the most competitive terms for its technology needs.

This open competition underscores the quality and capability of C & S Jones Group LLC in securing such a competitive contract without preferential positioning.

The series of transactions associated with this contract reflect the structured and ongoing nature of federal procurement. Transactions from 2020 through 2024 indicate continuous engagement, with modifications cited throughout (e.g., Modifications "PA0005", "PSA869"). Notably, all transactions up to this point indicate a $0 obligation amount, which may be indicative of the IDV framework, where specific task orders could be issued before financial obligations are documented.
The transaction modifications suggest administrative updates or contractual adjustments rather than financial exchanges, aligning with the nature of IDV contracts where specific tasks or projects are defined during the contract's life.
### Period of Performance
