This sub-area provides for IT services-based solutions which involve emerging technology (ET) innovation to securely accelerate transformation and advance mission outcomes. A TOR fits in this sub-area if it includes IT services-based solutions with ET as the focus.

ET can be understood as evolving state-of-the-art information technologies and their use in solutioning to improve and/or transform business processes and enhance mission delivery. ET includes those technologies that are not yet mature.

This sub-area provides for IT services-based solutions to be performed outside the contiguous United States (OCONUS). A TOR can fit in this sub-area if the scope is primarily IT services and it includes performance in an OCONUS location. 

IT services-based solutions may include work that, on its own, might not be considered IT. That work is characterized as “Ancillary Support.” Ancillary Support can be structured in Orders consistent with the overall Order type, or as part of a hybrid Order type approach, consistent with the Pricing section. OCOs clearly express the desired Order type(s) for Ancillary Support in TORs and resulting Orders.
