USDA/OCIO/ITS has accepted ARRA funding from FSA to continue FSA specific work under an ITS existing support services contract. Task Order 5 - Application Operation Services/FSA and Task Order 06 - Infrastructure Operations Support/FSA will be amended to include this funding.

This BPA is currently in the third option year of performance. FY 10 ARRA funding amount for TO 5 is $4,582,170.00 and $660,272.00 for Task Order 06. The period of performance for this funding is 10/01/2009 - 09/30/2010.* *The delay in announcing this award and the use of ARRA funds was due to the length of time it took the agency to transfer the money to ITS and also because of conversion issues of ITS to the FEMMI accounting system. The funding was finally available through the Contracting system on 12/18/2009.
