This is one of the first task orders issued under GSA’s CIO Modernization and Enterprise Transformation (COMET) Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA), and is worth approximately $17 million over five years. The AFS and ITG team are one of 12 entities that were awarded a position on the COMET BPA. The team has previously worked together on essential programs for other U.S. federal agencies.

Under the task order, AFS and ITG will provide agile development services and user-centered design capabilities to help FAS merge its legacy sites into a new, improved digital solution that will provide GSA customers with efficient access to federal contract award information. GSA’s Federal Acquisition Service delivers products and services across government at the best value possible.
