About this opportunity
The Department of Education's Federal Student Aid office has awarded a logical follow-on task order to Accenture Federal Services LLC for continued operation, maintenance, and enhancement of its Student, Borrower, and Partner Platforms on a sole-source basis, with an estimated value of $352.153 million.
The justification cites Accenture's eight years of incumbent performance and extensive institutional knowledge of system architecture, proprietary artifacts, undocumented interfaces, production deployment procedures, and security authorizations. FSA estimates transition costs of $23 million with a new vendor, which will be avoided through the logical follow-on. The platforms serve as the primary digital interface for millions of borrowers, applicants, and schools, making uninterrupted contractor support necessary to sustain operations and service continuity.
The task order is structured as a hybrid combining Firm Fixed Price and Time and Materials contract types and is procured under the National Institute of Health Technical Assessment and Acquisition Center GWAC. Period of performance spans up to 27 months: Assessments and Enhancements (September 25, 2026 – February 19, 2027), Base Period (February 20, 2027 – February 19, 2028), and Option Period (February 20, 2028 – December 19, 2028). FSA has committed to remove competitive barriers by December 2028 through data rights enforcement, comprehensive documentation, service decomposition, transition-out requirements, modular acquisition planning, and enhanced government oversight capacity.
