Federal Manager's Daily Report

NASA has announced that it awarded a contract to Accenture

of Reston, Va., to implement a suite of administrative

systems for the Integrated Financial Management Program of

its Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala.,

likely to include contract and human resources management

depending on its needs.

It said the size of the five-year, firm-fixed price

contract is conditional on those needs and has a range of

between $12 million and $200 million. The contract provides

flexibility through its Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite

Quantity provisions, according to NASA.

It said the overall goal of IFMP is to improve the

financial, physical and human resources management processes

throughout NASA, which owns and manages land, buildings,

aircraft, spacecraft, computers, equipment, chemicals and

supplies.
