HHS office of the chief information officer awarded the first task order to SAIC to provide data center, service desk and call center support to the departments staff and operating divisions.
The task order seeks to separate service desk and call center operations in an effort to improve user experience and reduce response times for customers.
HHS awarded the application hosting BPA in September 2017 with plans to award the program management integration and engineering BPAs this year through the NGITS program.
