The effort covers grocery and household good stores at military facilities that have point-of-sale systems and software.
NCR’s federal subsidiary has won a potential five-year, $335 million contract to continue its role as the primary provider of maintenance and operations services for technology assets used at U.S. military commissary locations.
The Defense Information Systems Agency is managing this recompete on behalf of the Defense Commissary Agency and received five proposals, according to the Pentagon’s Thursday awards digest.
DeCA oversees approximately 240 commissaries, or grocery and household good stores, at military facilities around the world. Roughly three-fourths of them are located inside the U.S.
The new contract is called the DeCA Enterprise Business Operations Systems Solution, or DEBOSS in the shorthand. Its period of performance covers one initial base year and up to four individual option years.
DEBOSS tasks NCR Government Systems with sustainment support of hardware and software that carries its parent company’s brand name, as well as provide third-party applications and related services to DeCA.
DEBOSS also is a consolidation of some requirements from two current contracts held by NCR Government Systems and IBM, which respectively were awarded in 2015 and 2016.
The contract with NCR covers software for functions such as catalog, ordering, receiving, pricing and point of sale. IBM was contracted to provide point-of-sale hardware and equipment for DeCA.
