TSA IT Contract Bidding Heats Up
Alice Lipowicz writes on Washington Technology:
Bidders and prospective subcontractors are lining up to be part of the Transportation Security Administration’s massive $2 billion Information Technology Infrastructure Program (ITIP). The procurement is considered one of the largest and highest-profile IT contracts this year for the Homeland Security Department.More here.
The TSA IT infrastructure contract is a follow-on to the $1 billion IT Managed Services contract, which aims to install and modernize IT networks and infrastructure. Unisys Corp. held the contract from 2002 to 2006. The company then won a bridge contract to extend the work through 2008.
Unisys has submitted a bid for the new contract, said spokesman Brad Bass. “This has been a very successful contract for Unisys, and we would like to continue the relationship,” he said.
Note: You may also recall that Unisys has recently been under investigation for allegedly failing to protect the DHS computer network from intrusions. -ferg

You may also note that there has been no additional word about the results of that investigation. I would expect it to be quietly dropped.
