Accenture Federal Services wins $1.6B task order

Accenture Federal Services has been awarded a task order of up to $1.6 billion to scale and enhance Cloud One, the cloud computing platforms available to the U.S. Department of Defense that are managed by the Air Force, the Arlington County federal contractor announced last week. 

“Accenture Federal Services will help the U.S. Air Force optimize its current cloud environment and support Cloud One in realizing its full potential,” Justin Shirk, a mission operations and cloud ecosystems managing director for Accenture Federal Services, stated in a news release.

Initiated in 2017, Cloud One is designed to provide common secure computing environments, standardized platforms, application migration and support services and data management, according to the DOD.

The Accenture subsidiary will work as a managed service provider for cloud account services, delivering enterprise-scale software support. It will also offer multi-cloud billing and account management services for the Air Force.

This order is the first of three follow-ons to the Air Force’s original Cloud One contract. The length of the task order support contract is up to five years and 3 months.

Two offers were received for the contract, according to the Department of Defense.

Accenture Federal Services employs 15,500 workers. Its parent company reported $64.9 billion in revenue in FY 2024.
