Awarded to Serco? Really!
What’s the issue ? SERCO-NA is a US/Canada company. Nobody has problems awarding contracts to BAE Systems (as in British AeroSpace. . . )
Serco proper is a foreign company, isn’t it? Shouldn’t that be Serco, NA, Inc. their American subsidiary?
Headquartered in Reston, Virginia, Serco Inc. has approximately 10,000 employees, annual revenue of $1.2 billion, and is ranked in the Top 40 of the largest Federal Prime Contractors by Washington Technology.
” The indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract will support the information technology (IT) requirements of DHS in protecting the United States borders against terrorism and other hazards. The contract vehicle has a maximum contract value of $22 billion over a seven year period, including one 5-year base period and one 2-year option period.”
$22 billion for an unknown quantity and unknown delivery...WTF? This is some s***. SOMEBODY knows what this is, and the fact that we aren’t allowed to know is ominous.

Thus far, there have been over 50 awards on this contract. There will be more. My company is on one of the winning teams. In the industry, this is called a “hunting license” and it means that you get to compete for task orders (real work) against the other awardees. You have a basic contract with the government, some approved rates, and the government can issue task orders using a simplified ordering process. $22 billion is a ceiling, it’s not real money. But, of course, nothing in the government is real.
Sorry, but I’m not VOLUNTARILY obligating myself to pay anything, much less $22 BILLION dollars, for services described as having unknown delivery and unknown quantity.
Maybe I don’t understand contract language. Or maybe somebody is deliberately obfuscating what we just purchased.
That is why zero wants unlimited spending, the debt ceiling demolished, so he can rule with impunity...he is pissin everyone off except the libs.
