Alcatel Lucent SA's LGS Innovations Receives Award For CIO-SP3 Contract

Alcatel Lucent SA announced that it has received an award for the Chief Information Officer-Solutions and Partners 3 (CIO-SP3) contract to provide a wide range of IT services and solutions to Federal Government agencies. The contract vehicle, under the direction of the NIH's Information Technology Acquisition and Assessment Center (NITAAC) and with a ceiling of $20 billion, is intended to provide for health, health science, and biomedical-related IT services to meet scientific, health, administrative, operational, managerial, and information management requirements. Because government healthcare systems are increasingly integrated within a broader IT architecture, the CIO-SP3 contract also allows for general IT purchases across all agencies.
