Internal Revenue Service, Managed Infrastructure Data Service Awards $184 Million Contract to ViON

ViON Corporation, a cloud service provider, has been awarded a $184 million contract value with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Managed Infrastructure Data Service (MIDS) program.

It will provide managed services to re-engineer, maintain, and operate the IRS storage and compute infrastructure environment with on-premise, infrastructure-as-a-service for storage and compute capabilities. The contract period has a 1-year base plus the option of 8 additional 1-year terms. ViON has teamed with Perspecta, Inc., now part of Peraton, who provides a diverse set of capabilities across the US Government.

“The IRS was one of ViON’s first customers and remains one today. We have a history of helping the IRS innovate, providing technology firsts in each decade; for example, we introduced the first virtual tape system to the IRS. We hope our history of innovation continues as we support IRS’s MIDS. The ViON Team has provided managed services and IaaS encompassing storage, compute, and networking across agencies for over 20 years. With this level of experience, operational excellence, and customer commitment, ViON has been able to deliver fully managed services to Federal customers with over $1.3 billion in current contract value. ViON’s aaS is ultimately controlled by the customer – allowing for more effective and flexible budget utilization which is critical to support the government’s IT modernization vision,” said Tom Frana, chairman and CEO, ViON.
