CSC wins FAA cloud contract

The Federal Aviation Administration picked a team led by Computer Sciences Corp. to provide cloud services, data center consolidation and cloud migration capabilities. The contract, an indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity single-award vehicle, could be worth $1 billion over 10 years.

The team includes Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure. It will use the CSC Agility Platform cloud management tool.

"CSC and our alliance partners are demonstrating the unique value that we as a team can bring to deliver an innovative, next-gen IT cloud solution that drives the FAA's mission forward," said Mike Lawrie, CSC's president and chief executive officer. "By coming together as we have, we are in a unique position to help meet the agency's operational and budgetary challenges over the life of the program."

"Government adoption of cloud computing for mission applications is accelerating rapidly, and we are pleased to help FAA's transition to the cloud," said Teresa Carlson, vice president of Worldwide Public Sector, Amazon Web Services.
