The General Services Administration and EPA today announced a major contract award to Computer Science Corp. to operate and maintain the EPA Central Data Exchange (CDX), the Agency’s enterprise-wide “portal” or entry system for receiving and retrieving environmental reporting data from states, local government agencies, tribal communities and regulated industry groups. The CDX is a principal component of EPA’s major e-government effort -- the National Environmental Information Exchange Network (Network) -- being developed in partnership with the states to streamline data entry and make environmental information transactions quicker, easier, more accurate and secure. The network also will enhance the ability of states and EPA to share environmental conditions at the local, state and national levels and provide information that will be a strategic resource for results-based management of environmental programs. The award, estimated at a value of almost $300 million over the next seven years, was placed through the GSA Millenium Contract. It is one of the largest “electronic government” awards of its kind in the federal community. EPA and Computer Science Corp. will coordinate the transition of contract functions and property to a new facility in the Washington, D.C., area. They anticipate the CDX portal facility will be fully operational this coming fall. Additional information is available at: www.epa.gov/cdx.
