RESTON, Va., April 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Leidos
(NYSE:LDOS), a FORTUNE® 500 science and technology
leader, has been awarded a new task order by the Internal Revenue
Service (IRS) to enhance, upgrade, and maintain the agency's
e-Services and Integrated Customer Communications Environment
(ICCE) platforms. The single award, hybrid firm-fixed price and
cost-plus-fixed-fee contract has a six-month base period of
performance and four one-year option years with a total value of
approximately $69 million, if all
options are exercised. Work will primarily be performed at IRS

Dallas, Texas, New Carrollton, Md., and Vienna, Va.
Under the task order, Leidos will provide software programming

applications supporting tax practitioners and third parties doing

software development, enhancement, and operation of ICCE, a suite
of phone and web-based applications developed for taxpayers,
facilitating responses to their questions using automated services.
Both platforms are essential to creating modernized services that
reduce cost for the IRS and facilitate secure and timely processing
for taxpayers. Additionally, Leidos will collaborate with the IRS
to improve its third party registration system, external facing
APIs, and data sharing with federal agencies to help support future
opportunities in-line with IRS' business strategy.

administration process," said Art
