US intelligence agency outsourcing HR

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) has awarded a multiple-year, $69 million human capital management (HCM) contract to Accenture National Security Services LLC. The contract covers a five-year period; a base year and four-one year options and supports NGA's human development directorate by providing a holistic approach to providing human capital services, encapsulating the end-to-end processes involved with managing people resources in the organization, from strategic work force planning support services to the transactional human capital functions such as recruitment and retirement processing.

This contract follows on the heels of a $176 million e-learning system contract to Lockheed, and means that NGA's HR function is now substantially outsourced. The HCM efforts will primarily be performed in the greater Washington, DC and St. Louis, MO areas.
