Trace Systems Awarded Prime Position on GSA Alliant 3

On April 13, 2026, Trace Systems Inc. proudly announced its selection for a prime position on the General Services Administration's (GSA) Alliant 3 Governmentwide Acquisition Contract (GWAC). This award highlights Trace's solid qualifications and proven track record in delivering mission-critical IT services across the federal landscape, securing one of only 43 positions in phase one of this competitive process.

Understanding Alliant 3

Alliant 3, which replaces the Alliant 2 contract, represents a pivotal advancement in modernizing IT infrastructure for the Department of War and broader federal government over the next decade. Built on the ethos of "Anything IT Anywhere," the Alliant 3 contract encompasses a wide range of integrated IT solutions. Notably, it includes advanced services in domains such as Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Computing, Quantum Computing, Virtualization, and Zero-Trust Networking, alongside traditional IT Service Management, operations, maintenance, cybersecurity, and communications services.

A distinguishing feature of Alliant 3 is its unlimited contract ceiling across its performance period, marking it as the largest IT modernization contract in history. This positions the GSA as a trusted steward of taxpayer dollars while also aspiring to reduce administrative costs and enhance acquisition timelines. Furthermore, it aligns with the administration's priorities to centralize and streamline federal procurement practices. By emphasizing performance-based acquisitions, classified requirements, and opportunities for small business subcontracting, Alliant 3's comprehensive structure sets a new bar for IT services in federal contracting.

Embracing New Opportunities

Stacey McGill, Vice President of Enterprise Solutions at Trace Systems, commented, "Our customers and end-users operating in deployed and expeditionary environments rely on timely, high-quality IT support to successfully execute mission objectives. Alliant 3 will enable our customers to move faster, reduce procurement complexity, and access proven mission support along with infrastructure solutions that ensure mission success."

Echoing this sentiment, Otto Hoernig, CEO of Trace Systems, expressed pride in the firm's 20-year history of delivering innovative IT solutions to government customers across various geographic Combatant Commands. "Our Alliant 3 prime contract award is a recognition of our demonstrated commitment to excellence in support of the warfighter," he stated. Furthermore, he noted his excitement about the prospective partnership with the government to roll out innovative IT capabilities over the decade ahead.
