SRA Awarded $500 Million Blanket Purchase Agreement for USDA SAP Implementation

SRA International, Inc. (NYSE: SRX), a leading provider of technology and strategic consulting services and solutions to government organizations and commercial clients, today announced it has been awarded a single-award blanket purchase agreement (BPA) from U.S. General Services Administration’s Federal Systems Integration and Management Center (FEDSIM), for SAP® implementation across the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The Application Transformation and Modernization (ATM) System Integrator (SI) BPA is intended to enable USDA organizations to incorporate SAP® enterprise resource planning tools in furtherance of agricultural, nutritional and development initiatives, among others. The contract value under the single-award BPA against which future task orders are expected to be issued is $500 million over a seven-year period.

USDA will immediately address aging departmental and agency program application systems. This modernization will also seek to transform business processes and technology to improve access and functionality for their users.

Under the first initiative, USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA), with 2,300 local offices (managing approximately $24 billion in annual producer programs) will use the BPA to transform farm program benefit delivery through its Modernize and Innovate the Delivery of Agricultural Systems (MIDAS) project. MIDAS will update the FSA’s current delivery of farm program benefits by streamlining business processes, replacing obsolete technology and consolidating disparate local systems into a public-facing web-based enterprise-wide system that integrates customer self-service, farm program management, financial management and other business processes.

“These capabilities are imperative to support USDA’s mission of delivering more than $96.5 billion in public services through 300 programs worldwide,” said SRA Senior Vice President Max Hall. “USDA’s enterprise modernization will empower the nation’s agricultural sector with enhanced technologies and business processes – significantly improving delivery of farm programs, reducing improper payments and increasing opportunities for better customer service in the rapidly changing agriculture community.”

The SRA team includes subcontractors Computer Sciences Corporation, Booz Allen Hamilton, IBM and SAP Consulting, as well as 11 qualified small businesses across the socioeconomic spectrum, all with world-class expertise in SAP implementation, in-depth knowledge of agricultural programs and success in modernizing legacy systems. Work on the BPA will be managed out of SRA's Washington, D.C. and Kansas City offices.
