Accenture Federal Services (AFS) has been awarded a contract by
the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to modernize,
enhance and maintain over 70 TSA enterprise applications using
Agile and DevOps software development practices.
The contract, which has a one-year base and three one-year
options, is worth a total of $64 million. It calls for AFS to
provide a range of IT services led by Agile development teams in
the TSA’s existing technology environment while supporting the
transformation of its core IT applications. AFS is a pioneer in
applying Agile methodology and tools to enterprise programs to help
federal clients modernize and transform their technology.
“This contract demonstrates the strong partnership between AFS
and the TSA,” said Kate Abrey, who leads AFS’ work with the TSA.
“We provide Agile support services across the U.S. government for
numerous other agencies with wide-ranging missions. We’re pleased
to be able to use this approach to help the TSA modernize its
technology infrastructure, create value faster and respond more
readily to change.”
The TSA, a Department of Homeland Security agency, also recently
awarded AFS a $290 million, five-year contract to support its
Office of Human Capital (OHC) in the hiring and recruiting of 8,000
to 10,000 employees a year. AFS also provides services under the
TSA’s Technology Infrastructure Modernization program.
