MCLEAN, Va., Apr 13, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- TSCCD | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Alion Science and Technology, an employee-owned technology solutions company, has been announced as one of the recipients of the General Services Administration's Alliant contract, a government-wide acquisition contract to provide IT services to the federal government. The 10-year indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (ID/IQ) contract (five-year base with one five-year option), which was originally announced in 2007, has a maximum value of $50 billion.

Alliant enables civilian and defense agencies to leverage the latest, most effective technologies and solutions to meet their missions. One of the contract drivers is the need for compliance with emerging policies and initiatives from the Office of Management and Budget as well as the Federal Enterprise Architecture and the Federal Information Security Management Act.

"The government is requiring more effective IT solutions to help agencies achieve their missions by streamlining processes, improving efficiency and limiting the duplication of effort," said Dr. Bahman Atefi, Alion Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We have a long-standing history of delivering technology solutions that draw on our engineering, operational, and management strengths, so we can help our government customers improve business processes, contain costs and get the greatest benefit from their technology investments."

"Alliant provides the government with a simple, cost-effective way to acquire enterprise-focused IT solutions," said Alion Corporate Vice President Wayne Self. "It will speed up the acquisition process and help ensure that each agency can meet new standards and challenges, enabling government agencies to enhance enterprise architecture development, integration and management."
