The U.S. federal business of Canada’s GGI Group [GIB] on Monday said it received a potential six-year, $530 million contract from the U.S. General Service Administration (GSA) to provide federal agencies with cyber security capabilities under the Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) program.
CGI Federal won the CDM DEFEND Group C award, which covers several federal departments and agencies. CGI already provides credential management capabilities to federal agencies under Phase 2 of CDM. Phase 2 is expected to be completed later this year.
GSA manages the contracting for CDM while the Department of Homeland Security oversees program management.
The CDM program helps federal agencies better account for their cyber security risks and threats faced it their networks.
Under the DEFEND acquisition strategy, DHS is replacing existing CDM tools with new ones and enabling continuous mitigation of threats of service.
“CDM epitomizes the best of the share services model, and we are delighted by the confidence that GSA, DHS and the Group C agencies have entrusted to CGI to be part of this historic effort,” Stephanie Mango, senior vice president of CGI, said in a statement.
Earlier this year GSA awarded a potential $621 million contract to Booz Allen Hamilton [BAH] for DEFEND Group B and a potential $407 million contract to CACI International [CACI] for Group A.
