Government Agency Agrees To Redo Acquisition Strategy After Challenge

The Defense Information Systems Agency has agreed to redo its acquisition strategy for the Enclave IT services contract after General Dynamics IT protested the plan to expand the contract’s scope. DISA had intended to migrate combatant command IT systems to Enclave, but GDIT argued that the agency should have competed the new requirement instead of adding it to the existing contract. The agency will now conduct new market research and make a new acquisition approach decision. This development was first reported by Washington Technology.
