Northrop objects to getting kicked off incumbent IRS contract
Northrop Grumman may be in the process of selling its IT services business, but is still out there fighting hard for contracts.
The company is among three disappointed bidders objecting to being eliminated from a set of blanket purchase agreements to support the Internal Revenue Service.
The IRS is using the Federal Supply Schedule to create a series of BPAs that the agency will use for technical support during tax season. The BPAs are known as the Enterprise Systems Testing Support Services contracts.
Northrop apparently has been supporting the systems for 22 years and filed its protest to the Government Accountability Office after the company was eliminated. Citizant and Engineering Systems Solutions Inc. also have filed protests.
