Accenture Federal Services won a $250 million contract with the Interior Department to help the Bureau of Land Management operate and maintain a future-ready mission services IT platform.
The contract has a period of performance of 10 years.
“With roots that date back to America’s independence, the Bureau of Land Management’s mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of federal lands for the use and enjoyment of current and future generations,” said Accenture Federal Services Managing Director and Department of the Interior Client Lead Kathryn Larson.
“To that end, the agency is forging ahead with a modernization journey and developing a Mission Services Platform (MSP) designed to serve employees and customers for decades. Accenture Federal Services will deliver agile application services to create an architecture for the MSP that will improve data quality, enhance employee productivity, and transform the way citizen services are delivered.”
Under the contract, Accenture Federal Services will leverage portal development, geospatial enablement, case management, agile delivery, human-centered design and governance to help BLM accelerate its use of digital tools and streamline the way it manages over 245 million acres of federal land and 700 million acres of subsurface minerals.
