New court filings reveal competing narratives between Accenture Federal Services, the Army and protester Groundswell over how the competition for the $1 billion EBS-C modernization contract unfolded.
A U.S. Court of Federal Claims judge will hear Groundswell's claims that the Army favored Accenture Federal Services in the competition to consolidate several business systems.
Accenture Federal Services and the Army did not want Uli Werner to access sealed documents in Groundswell's fight over a $1 billion business system consolidation contract.
Groundswell's complaints around the lack of transparency in the competition brings back up an industry-wide frustration with limited feedback in debriefings from agencies.
Groundswell's lawsuit alleges the evaluation process was changed midstream to favor Accenture's U.S. federal arm for the contract to consolidate several Army business and logistics systems.
In its protest at the U.S. Court of Federal Claims, Groundswell is questioning how the Army stuck with long-time incumbent Accenture Federal Services for the project.
