The Department of Veterans Affairs has tapped technology, science and engineering solutions provider ECS to help maintain critical information technology systems.
On Monday, the company announced that it received a $60.7 million indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract from VA's Office of Information and Technology to provide a wide range of IT services, including but not limited to technical support, strategy planning and operations and maintenance.
The contract was awarded through the Transformation Twenty-One Total Technology Next Generation 2 vehicle, which aims to help modernize the department's IT and engineering services, ECS said.
According to ECS President John Heneghan, a 4×24 member and 2023 Wash100 winner, with a high number of veteran employees, the company is excited to partner with the VA to deliver high-quality health care to every veteran.
The VA contract comes just weeks after ECS was selected in early November to lead the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's $1.25 billion Technical and Analytical Support Services initiative, where as prime, it will provide advisory and assistance services to support the agency's mission.
