The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has awarded Deloitte Consulting a task order for identity, credential and access management (ICAM) work worth up to $199.9 million, according to federal contract records.
VA’s Technology Acquisition Center in Eatontown, New Jersey, placed the order under Deloitte’s contract on Alliant 2, a multiple-award General Services Administration vehicle for government-wide IT services. Federal procurement records show the order was signed on Sept. 16 with an initial obligation of $41.6 million. An award notice posted to SAM.gov on Oct. 16 lists the full value at $199,932,751.06.
The current performance period runs through Sept. 20, 2027, and options could extend the work to Sept. 21, 2031. The order drew eight offers and is recorded as competed. Federal records classify it as a firm-fixed-price order for IT application development support services.
The public notice describes the work only by its title, Identity Credential Access Management, and the contract description field refers back to the order number. Federal guidance defines ICAM as the tools, policies and systems an agency uses to give the right individual access to the right resource at the right time for the right reason.
A different Deloitte firm, Deloitte & Touche, has held a VA task order for enterprise ICAM transformation support since September 2024. That order, placed through a GSA schedule after two offers, has $18.2 million obligated and a potential value of $43.2 million. Its current period ends Dec. 17, 2026, and options run to Sept. 17, 2029.
In January, VA asked industry for ideas on next-generation digital identity, authentication and navigation for VA.gov, saying some veterans have trouble with identity verification and multi-factor authentication.
VA’s websites and mobile app now accept ID.me, Login.gov or CLEAR accounts for sign-in. VA added the CLEAR option this month and began an in-person enrollment pilot at six medical facilities.
VA also buys ID.me’s credential service. In May it renewed an ID.me identity and access management subscription through FCN Inc., covering an annual credential broker license and new and renewal identity proofing subscriptions through May 10, 2027. That order has $17.3 million obligated and a potential value of $101.6 million.
