Company to integrate disruptive technologies to
simplify workflows and improve end-user experiences
The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) awarded Science
Applications International Corp. (NYSE: SAIC) three GSA-led
Information Technology (IT) modernization Centers of Excellence
(CoE) contract awards to support the U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA).
“We are honored and excited to deliver IT modernization services
across USDA. This expands our current role within the USDA Mission
Areas under the continued leadership of Heath Starr, vice president
of USDA programs,” said Bob Genter, SAIC senior vice president and
general manager of the Federal Civilian Customer Group. “To us,
modernization is not about selling the next new technology; it’s
putting our customers’ needs first and using our experience in
mission understanding to bring the right technologies to bear.”
As part of GSA’s government-wide IT modernization plan, the CoEs
provide agencies with consulting, acquisition, and IT engineering
services to improve the way agencies design services and interact
with their customers.
“We have been innovators in government IT for 50 years. By
managing the chaos of disruptive technologies, we can successfully
implement IT modernization for USDA and other agencies,” said John
Walsh, SAIC senior vice president and general manager of the IT
Solutions Market Segment. “We look forward to continued performance
success and delivery of services that connect modern IT with their
mission to deliver better results for their customers.”
Under the initiative, SAIC was awarded the following:
- Data Analytics Capacity
Building: A single-award task order to provide program
management, data science, organizational change management, and
training support to more than 100,000 personnel within the USDA.
SAIC will align with USDA to enhance the way the entire department
works together and thinks about, manages, and leverages insights
from their data.
- Data Visualization and
Analytics: A single-award blanket purchase agreement with
firm-fixed-price task orders to provide professional services to
develop and deploy advanced analytics and data visualization
capabilities within USDA’s mission areas. SAIC teams will evaluate
alternatives across technologies, including blockchain, to develop
and implement solutions to infuse the Voice of the Customer and
enhance USDA’s mission delivery.
- Infrastructure Optimization Cloud
Adoption: A multiple-award blanket purchase agreement to
support DevSecOps transformation. Additionally, work includes the
migration of more than 800 applications and data center
consolidation.
Beginning with USDA, each COE tackles distinct tasks, beginning
with an assessment and planning phase that results in the
development of a roadmap for the successful implementation of
managing centralized, function-specific talent, solutions, and
acquisition vehicles. They also provide for documented and scalable
best practices that are designed to be rapidly adopted by other
agencies throughout the government.
Sanjay Sardar, SAIC vice president for Modernization and Digital
Transformation noted, “I am very excited about working to ensure
the success of the COEs. IT modernization is at the forefront of
our customers’ minds. By focusing on the technologies in concert
with modern acquisition practices, financial management models,
training and organizational change, we will help our customers to
lower maintenance costs, adopt new applicable technologies, secure
systems, and exceed the needs of the mission. SAIC looks forward to
our continued support in this critical program.”
