FAIRFAX, VA, Dec. 19, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - CGI (NYSE: GIB)
(TSX: GIB.A) announced that it has been awarded a place on the
Alliant 2 Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ)
Government-Wide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) by the U.S. General
Services Administration (GSA). Alliant 2 carries a $50 billion ceiling with a 10-year ordering
period (5 base years and one 5-year option). Designed to be
flexible to the government's ever-evolving needs, Alliant 2 will
provide all federal agencies access to integrated information

transformation over the next decade. Alliant 2 is a follow-on to
the Alliant GWAC (set to expire in April

contract holders over the past 10 years.
"CGI is honored to be selected by GSA for continued successful
delivery of IT and managed services solutions to our federal
clients on the Alliant 2 vehicle," said CGI Federal President
Tim Hurlebaus.
Services to be provided under Alliant 2 will include all
components of integrated IT solutions, such as infrastructure,
applications and IT management services, including such CGI
proprietary solutions as Momentum® Financial Management
and Momentum Contract Writing. All current and any new technologies
which may emerge during the term of the contract are covered under
Alliant 2, which also features scope improvements, new IT service
labor categories, new cybersecurity standards and new environmental
standards.
According to GSA's GWAC Dashboard, the existing Alliant vehicle
has grown significantly over past few years, with agencies spending
roughly $3.8B in Fiscal Year (FY)
2014, $4.1B in FY15 and nearly
$4.7B in FY16. Alliant's largest
customers include the Department of Defense, the Department of
