Mission IT lands GSA Schedule for federal OT and security engineering

Mission IT has won a U.S. General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule contract that makes its consulting, cybersecurity and deployment services easier for federal agencies to buy. The deal also expands access to partner technologies from Claroty and SUSE for operational technology and national security work.

Why it matters: - The GSA Schedule gives federal agencies a faster contracting path to Mission IT’s operational technology, cybersecurity, cloud and systems integration services. - The award also widens access to deployment and integration work tied to Claroty and SUSE, two technologies used in mission-critical environments. - The contract supports federal buyers that need help securing industrial systems, classified facilities and defense-related networks.

What happened: - Mission IT received a U.S. General Services Administration Multiple Award Schedule contract for technology consulting and engineering services. - The contract number is 47QTCA26D006E. - The schedule includes Special Item Number 54151S, Information Technology Professional Services. - The base period runs through 2031. - Optional extensions, if exercised, would extend the contract through 2046. - Mission IT said the schedule makes it easier for federal agencies to bring the company in as a partner.
