CACI International awarded $40 million DoD wide area workflow contract

By TechTaffy Desk

CACI International has been awarded a three-year, $40 million single-award, indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract (IDIQ) from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) to provide development and sustainment support for the Department of Defense (DoD) Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) and Electronic Document Access (EDA) systems.

CACI’s role, in partnership with the DLA and the Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy (DPAP) office, will be to continue enhancing and supporting the WAWF e-Business Suite, with its web-based applications for processing of contract documentation, along with the EDA system, which provides a repository for DoD’s procurement instruments and related documents.

The CACI-supported WAWF has saved DoD approximately $250 million a year in invoice processing, says the company.
