Accenture Plc (NYSE: ACN) has received an order worth $25 million to modernize operations for the Air Force Sustainment Center (AFSC) and help build a first-of-its-kind “Digital Depot.”
The company’s unit, Accenture Federal Services, received the order.
Accenture Federal Services is making a new internet-connected device system for the AFSC’s advanced technology platform, often called ATHENA.
The period of performance for the ATHENA contract is up to five years.
The contract is for three Air Logistics Complexes at Tinker Air Force Base in Oklahoma, Robins Air Force Base in Georgia, and Hill Air Force Base in Utah.
“Accenture Federal Services looks forward to using state-of-the-art technologies to create a resilient and secure digital depot ecosystem. The platform we’re building will enable the standardization, visualization, and integration of data from numerous shop floor machines to support the future industrial area production environment, and ultimately, the success of the warfighter,” said Keith Runtz, a senior managing director in Accenture Federal Services and defense portfolio lead.
In July, the company received a $94 million U.S. Army contract to maintain and transform the agency’s Identity, Credential, and Access Management (ICAM) system.
