In a significant achievement, Fedstack, the technology and workforce solutions division of Smoothstack, Inc., has been awarded a substantial $118 million Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) by the Internal Revenue Service's Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO). This award is particularly notable as Fedstack is one of only two companies to receive this contract, which aims to provide essential technical workforce development and training services across the Department of the Treasury.

Overview of the Agreement

The BPA, which is structured as a five-year agreement, is designed to establish a long-term framework that assists the Treasury in building, modernizing, and sustaining a competent technology workforce. This initiative is aligned with federal modernization priorities, showcasing Fedstack’s capability to deliver structured, scalable workforce development programs tailored for the complexities of federal environments.

The awarded funding underscores the critical need for enhancing workforce readiness in light of the rapid advancements in technology within government agencies. As agencies increasingly adopt cloud solutions and expand data and artificial intelligence capabilities, the pressure for validated technical skills has intensified. Fedstack's offerings will play a crucial role in addressing these needs.
