Through this contract, GDIT becomes pre-qualified to compete
on task orders to help HHS utilise advanced technologies for their
modernisation efforts.

The multiple award, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity
(IDIQ) contract has a total estimated value of $49 million over a five-year
base period.

GDIT will help HHS leverage new technology and methodologies
to support increased efficiency throughout its workforce. This will include
