A $23 billion federal contract that encompasses a wide array of technology services and involves at least four locally based companies may be up for expansion and rebid ahead of schedule.
The Army’s CR2 Program is essentially a network aimed at streamlining the procurement process for the Army and other federal agencies buying technology services. The program is close to reaching the ceiling on its original $23.2 billion budget, according to a report released this week from INPUT, a Reston-based research firm that tracks federal contracting. In order to make sure the Army doesn’t reach the funding limit for the program — and then have to halt it unexpectedly — it will likely seek additional funds and open the contract up again this year, four years ahead of its original 2011 date.
