messaging and mobile communications. Estimates have pegged the work as worth
$2.5 billion.
The project, Agency Consolidated End User Services (ACES), is

NASA, the ODIN contract.


The ACES contract is expected to be biggest of five contracts that NASA plans
to issue as part of its Information Technology Infrastructure Integration
Program (I3P) acquisition to consolidate the agency’s IT and data services.
