The Defense Intelligence Agency is moving forward with plans to spend up to $6.6 billion over five years on new information technology outsourcing contracts, on Tuesday issuing a request for proposal that covers development, deployment and management of various Department of Defense systems between now and 2015.

The contracts, which will go to about eight vendors in total, will consolidate a larger number of existing contract vehicles into one, and will cost the DoD up to $1.32 billion annually. That might seem like a hefty fee, but by consolidating these contracts, the DIA said in a press release, the agency aims to make its IT acquisition processes simpler and more efficient.

Defense Intelligence Agency seeks IT services including CRM, cybersecurity, data center administration, disaster recovery, and software development.
