GSA Awards Contract to Implement New Accounts Receivable and Billing Functionality

Washington — The U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) today announced that CGI Federal has been awarded a five year task order contract, valued up to $46 million, to update the agency’s legacy Billing and Accounts Receivable (BAAR) modules.

Under the terms of the contract, CGI Federal will support GSA in creating new accounts receivable and billing modules to establish standard accounting business processes across GSA. These modules will also address federal compliance issues identified by Financial Systems Integration Office (FSIO) standards, the Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), Federal Financial Management Improvement Act (FFMIA), Financial Management Enterprise Architecture (FMEA), and other federal rules and regulations to support GSA’s capabilities as a Financial Management Line of Business (FMLOB).

Once the BAAR implementation of Momentum Financials™ takes place it will:

• Establish standard accounting business processes across GSA
• Produce electronic bills for GSA’s many business lines in large volumes
• Facilitate easier upgrades of government rules and guidelines
• Support new technologies that eliminate manual processes
• Meet increasing security requirements
• Support GSA’s financial management enterprise architecture.

CGI Federal currently supports the operations and maintenance of GSA’s financial system of record Pegasys.
