The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) Defense Human Resources Agency (DHRA) recently awarded a new multiple-award blanket purchase agreement (BPA) to global consulting and technology services provider ICF (NASDAQ:ICFI) to design, develop, migrate and deploy cloud-based solutions to modernize the agency’s Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC). The BPA has a ceiling value of $1.4 billion across all 10 awardees over a five-year period, including a one-year base and four one-year option periods.
