The Nuclear Regulatory Commission uses this blanket purchase agreement to bridge its technology resources with larger business strategies.
Six companies have won positions on a potential 10-year, $502 million blanket purchase agreement for broad IT support services to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Known as GLINDA 2.0, this second iteration of the Global Infrastructure and Development Acquisition pact is NRC’s primary mechanism for acquiring IT and information management resources. NRC’s headquarters and all regional offices use this BPA as part of efforts to bridge technology to the agency’s business strategies.
NRC awarded the pact on Wednesday and received nine offers, according to Federal Procurement Data System records.
Awardees are as follows:
- ActioNet
- CGI Federal
- Deloitte
- Gunnison Consulting Group
- Leidos
- TekSynap
Deloitte is the lone newcomer to the effort and the other five winners are incumbents from the current version of GLINDA, which NRC awarded in 2017 at a $679 million ceiling. GovTribe data indicates the agency has obligated $288 million in task order volume to-date against GLINDA.
A June 2023 edition of NRC’s acquisition forecast describes GLINDA 2.0 as wide-ranging in nature as it covers support for systems and networks, a security operations center for cyber functions, end-user computing services and mobile device operations.
Awardees will work with NRC’s office of the chief information officer to carry out a transformation of the agency’s overall IT and information management operations. GLINDA has been a central component of that effort.
Work will take place over an initial five-year base period, followed by a single five-year option period.
