Unisys Selected to Provide Cloud Infrastructure Solutions to Help Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Protect U.S. Citizens from Financial Crime
Unisys Corporation has announced it has won a contract to provide Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud solutions and services to help the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) effectively respond to the public demand for consumer safety information, while accommodating the growing use of mobile devices and other emerging technologies.
The contract will support the agency's efforts to obtain information technology infrastructure services at a low cost and to scale up its IT resources to respond to periods of great public demand for consumer safety information.
CFPB, established by the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010, works to ensure that consumers get the information they need to make the financial decisions they believe are best for them and their families.
The agency awarded the contract to Unisys following a competitive bid. The contract has a one-year base period and four one-year options and is worth about $7 million over five years if all options are exercised. The contract was awarded under NASA's government-wide Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) IV contract.
Unisys will serve as program manager under the contract, providing licensing, advisory support and optional consulting services to help the agency fully leverage the capabilities of the AWS Cloud. Unisys also will provide billing services, quality control and roadmaps for projects running on AWS products and services.
