GSA awarded the contracts, listed on GSA’s Human Resources Line of Business special item numbers on Multiple Award Schedule 738.X, to Accenture National Security Services and Carahsoft Technology Corp., both of Reston, Virginia, and to Allied Technology Group, Inc., of Rockville, Maryland. “GSA is pleased to have worked closely with the Office of Personnel Management on these Human Resources Line of Business awards that offer the opportunity to attract and select such highly qualified companies for our customers,” said Federal Acquisition Service Commissioner Jim Williams. “These companies will bring industry best practices to government, which helps lower the costs for taxpayers.” Under Office of Management and Budget rules, the awardees will compete with the Departments of Defense, Interior, Health and Human Services,Treasury and Agriculture, which also offer Human Resources Line of Business shared services.
