NCI Gets Prime Position on the GSA's Alliant Contract

NCI, Inc., a provider of information technology (IT), engineering, and professional services and solutions to U.S. Federal Government agencies, announced that it has been awarded a U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Alliant prime contract that has a total ceiling value of $50 billion.

NCI is one of 59 firms selected for award. The contract has a five-year base with one 5-year option. Alliant is a Government-Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) that provides Federal Government agencies an efficient resource to acquire technology solutions worldwide.

Alliant is a forward-looking contract that directly supports several initiatives, including Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) and Green Computing. The contract vehicle is available 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 multiple award GWAC. Through innovative approaches, the contract will stay current as technology advances over the next decade, the company noted.

"Alliant is a vital component in GSA's robust portfolio of IT contracts," said Jim Williams, Commissioner of the Federal Acquisition Service. "Alliant ensures that our customers have easy access to innovative IT solutions from a broad spectrum of highly qualified industry partners and provides an exceptional vehicle for federal agencies to achieve their missions through technology. Alliant represents perhaps the most comprehensive and flexible contract for IT solutions in government."

"We are very pleased with GSA's decision. The award of the Alliant contract to NCI will provide an opportunity for us to expand our customer base to new Federal agencies. We look forward to working with GSA and its customers in forging a mutually beneficial relationship based on trust, integrity, and delivering outstanding value. GSA's selection of NCI reaffirms our standing in the Federal Community as a premier provider of information technology solutions," said Charles Narang, Chairman and CEO.
