In announcing the selection of 59 firms under a $50 billion Alliant IT contract, GSA acting administrator Paul Prouty said the award would enable agencies to rapidly deploy funds they receive through the Recovery Act for IT.
"GSA is now better positioned to assist our federal customers to meet their IT requirements in a streamlined and efficient manner while meeting the administration’s goals for transparency and oversight in federal contracting," Prouty said.
According to GSA, the Alliant government-wide acquisition contract has a five-year base and provides agencies with a central source for integrated IT solutions, as well as streamlined access to a broad range of management and technical support services, enabling complex IT solutions to be acquired under a multiple award, indefinite delivery, and indefinite quantity contract.
