Excella, based in Arlington, VA, announced on May 23 that it was awarded a blanket purchase agreement (BPA) to provide agile coaching to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to enable the successful implementation of its next generation web-based applications. The Services for Enabling Agile Delivery (SEAD) BPA extends over five years and has a total ceiling value of up to $300 million. Excella will provide hands-on expert coaching that will enable agile delivery across DHS and its components.

“This award will drive DHS’ adoption of agile principles and practices to further modernize its digital strategy,” said Dave Neumann, partner at Excella. “Our industry-recognized agile thought leaders create powerful solutions for federal agencies, and are excited to partner with DHS leaders to create transformative applications that uphold the agency’s charge to keep the homeland secure.”
