Program Information

“Mission Assured, Industry Best” – The Army Corps of Engineers Information Technology (ACE-IT) organization is the result of a successful bid by the USACE Most Efficient Organization (MEO) in response to a USACE A-76 competition to provide IM/IT services.  The government MEO teamed with Lockheed Martin to develop a “Mission Assured, Industry Best” IM/IT solution that combined irreplaceable government Corps of Engineers knowledge and experience with the proven best practices of an industry-leading IT services contractor.  The result is ACE-IT – a dedicated government / contractor team with all the right stuff to meet the challenges of cost effective enterprise IM/IT service delivery and transformation of the USACE IM/IT environment.

Enterprise IM/IT Services – The ACE-IT organization will provide the foundation for enterprise IM/IT services across the Corps of Engineers.  This “national control, local execution” approach will enable delivery of IM/IT services at a reduced total cost of ownership, allowing more resources to be focused on accomplishment  of the vital USACE missions.  One implication of this will be a reduction in the number of separate IM/IT contracts across USACE.  But there will be plenty of opportunity with the ACE-IT team to support IM/IT service delivery, on both enterprise and local levels.

ACE-IT Procurement Interface – To achieve the savings expected from the A-76 competition, the Corps of Engineers has made the ACE-IT program responsible for the provision of all in-scope IM/IT services.  ACE-IT has assigned the responsibility for procurement services to Lockheed Martin, who serves as integrating contractor for the ACE-IT team.  The Task Order Management System (TOMS) was established to help vendors and subcontractors understand and pursue potential IM/IT opportunities with USACE, and TOMS registration is the first step to begin a dialogue with ACE-IT.

Transforming USACE IM/IT will help the Corps better serve the Armed Forces and the Nation.  ACE-IT stands ready to do our part, and we invite you to help us meet that challenge!
