Here's something from the agency's press release about the winners:
" The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced today the selection of 29 firms for award under the Alliant contract. The contract has a 5 year base with one 5 year option and is valued at $50 B. Alliant is a Governmentwide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) that provides federal government agencies a centralized source to acquire integrated Information Technology (IT) solutions worldwide. The contract vehicle is open to all federal agencies and provides streamlined access to a broad range of management and technical support services, enabling total and complex IT solutions to be acquired under a pre-competed multiple award, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (MA/IDIQ) contract.
"GSA is proud to provide such comprehensive and robust contract solutions for IT services" said GSA Administrator Lurita Doan. FAS Commissioner Jim Williams added, "Alliant is a key component of FAS' portfolio of technology solutions. With its expansive scope, access to the best in class in the private sector and ability to provide customized solutions tailored to agencies' unique IT needs, we can again prove that GSA is at the forefront of serving the acquisition needs of the federal government."

In the final throes of any Fascist Regime, the Leaders steal the public blind. And for the next 10 years. Remember to Vote in your parties Feb. 5th Caucas.

If Booz Allen is involved, then this will be quite half-assed.
