Interos Solutions Named Subcontractor to Accenture on Defense Logistics Agency Contract
MCLEAN, VA (September 2007) – Interos Solutions, Inc., a leading management consulting company focusing on supply chain and logistics solutions, has signed a subcontractor agreement to join the Accenture (NYSE: ACN) team that was awarded a $252 million modernization contract by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) earlier this year.
Accenture is the prime contractor that will provide business systems integration, systems engineering and application management support for the agency’s enterprise systems. The role of Interos, a Virginia-based woman-owned firm, is to bring its best practices for commercial supply chain logistics to the DLA as the agency moves further toward retail supply chain methodology.
“Interos is proud to work with DLA and Accenture on this project,” said Jennifer Bisceglie, president of Interos Solutions. “Interos possesses the deep supply chain expertise necessary to serve as a strategic business partner, and we look forward to helping the client meet its global logistics mission.”
The prime contract with DLA is for five years and is valued at $155 million, with options to extend the agreement by another five years that are valued at $97 million.
Accenture has been tasked with continuing to modernize DLA’s multiple logistics systems into a single, integrated end-to-end system; restructuring material management functions based on leading practices; and replacing legacy software systems with world class commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software solutions.
