GSA recently announced a $64.5 million contract award for Booz Allen to build a Common Services Platform as part of GSA’s Integrated Award Environment. Booz Allen will leverage the latest technologies and best practices in cloud computing and open source to deploy and host an IAE Platform-as-a-service (PaaS) solution. Booz Allen will partner with leading providers such as Amazon Web Services, Google, Red Hat and Docker. The core of Booz Allen’s proposed solution is based on the firm’s open cloud service broker platform, known as Project Jellyfish. This platform, plus a suite of common service technologies, will provide a fully automated, self-service PaaS environment allowing GSA and other vendors to build business applications. Booz Allen is excited to support GSA as they work towards a more transparent, open, and innovative transformation of Federal acquisition.
