About this award
The U.S. Department of Education's Office of the Chief Information Officer awarded this $4.03 million firm fixed-price contract to Groundswell Corporation, a Virginia-based technology integrator, to provide helpdesk and training support services for the Education Department Central Automated Processing System (EDCAPS). The contract, awarded on September 24, 2016, with an ultimate completion date of December 23, 2020, was designated as an 8(a) sole source set-aside, recognizing Groundswell's participation in the Small Business Administration's 8(a) Business Development Program. The work will be performed in Washington, DC, and represents the contractor's technical support capabilities in maintaining critical federal education processing infrastructure.
This modification involved de-obligating funds for non-use as part of end-of-year budgeting procedures. Groundswell, also registered as Collabralink Technologies, Inc., brings extensive experience delivering IT services and digital transformation solutions across federal agencies. The contractor's relevant expertise includes technical helpdesk services, operations and maintenance support, and software engineering across multiple civilian agencies including the Department of Transportation, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Drug Enforcement Administration. Groundswell's significant portfolio of federal contracts and indefinite delivery vehicles, including a $11.93 billion DLA Enterprise Technology Services agreement, demonstrates the company's capability to support complex government technology requirements.
