EDS Corporation along with 7 other Prime Federal Contractors has been selected as the winning vendors for the Army's Information Technology Enterprise Solutions-2 Services (ITES-2S) program. Autonomic Resources was a teaming partner with EDS on this Federal pursuit and will work with EDS on the fulfillment of this contract.

ITES-2S is a consolidated contract vehicle for products and services and will serve as a follow-on to the original ITES program. The contract vehicle will run for nine years and has a ceiling value of $20 billion.

ITES-2S contemplates services-based solutions under which contractors may be required to provide a full range of IT equipment.
