Company to Help the Bureau of Land Management Modernize the Administration of Federal Lands

ARLINGTON, Va.: Accenture Federal Services has won a $250 million contract from the U.S. Department of the Interior to help the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) operate and maintain a future-ready mission services IT platform.

“With roots that date back to America’s independence, the Bureau of Land Management’s mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of federal lands for the use and enjoyment of current and future generations,” said Accenture Federal Services Managing Director and Department of the Interior Client Lead, Kathryn Larson. “To that end, the agency is forging ahead with a modernization journey and developing a Mission Services Platform (MSP) designed to serve employees and customers for decades. Accenture Federal Services will deliver agile application services to create an architecture for the MSP that will improve data quality, enhance employee productivity, and transform the way citizen services are delivered.”

Accenture Federal Services will use its expertise in portal development, geospatial enablement, case management, agile delivery, human-centered design, and governance to help BLM accelerate its use of digital tools, and ultimately streamline the way it manages more than 245 million acres of federal land and 700 million acres of subsurface minerals.

The contract supporting BLM’s Directorate of Information Technology has a period-of-performance of ten-years.
