GSA Awards $22.5M Army Force Management Task Order to SRA Company to Develop and Maintain Integrated Force Management System for U.S. Army FAIRFAX, Va., July 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SRA International, Inc. (NYSE:SRX), a leading provider of information technology (IT) services and solutions to federal government organizations, announced today that it has been awarded a competitive task order by the General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Systems Integration and Management Center (FEDSIM). SRA will develop and maintain an integrated Force Management System for the U.S. Army. The task order, competitively awarded under the Millennia contract, has an estimated value of $22.5 million over five years if all options are exercised. The Headquarters, Department of Army, Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations and Plans (G-3), Director of Force Management (DFM) is responsible for developing the organizational structure of personnel and materiel for the entire Army, and for transforming the Army into highly modular organizations of mobile and versatile forces. The Program Executive Office -- Enterprise Information Systems, Project Office-Force Management System, will manage the contract for the Army. The transformed Army must be capable of adapting quickly to many diverse threats to national security. Since 1999, SRA has provided requirements analysis, business process improvement, and systems design services for an automated, rules based system to support the DFM's mission. In 2002, SRA developed and deployed an interim system -- the Structure and Manpower Allocation System -- that is now operational. Under this new task order, SRA will integrate four existing systems and implement improved business processes to create a single Force Management System that will support collaborative, worldwide, and secure development of the Army's force structure at each user's desktop. SRA will also sustain operation of current information systems during the migration to the new system. Services provided will include program management, software development, database design and development, operations and maintenance, systems engineering, and information assurance. The SRA team includes CACI International Inc.; Richard S. Carson & Associates, Inc.; and Northrop Grumman Corporation. "Our goal for the new Force Management System is to dramatically streamline the Army's Force Management process," said Robert Burciaga, SRA Vice President and Business Manager for Army Programs, Defense Sector. "We will do more than merely merge the legacy systems and implement an integrated database. Beyond system migration, we want the Force Management System to reflect improved business processes and powerful automation support that will greatly reduce the workload required to develop the force structure and then quickly reconcile the doctrinal force structure to budget constraints."
