Obama White House Dumps IT Contractor Responsible for Health Care Website

The Obama administration is reportedly dumping the IT contractor responsible for building the glitch-riddled healthcare.gov website.

Officials familiar with the situation say CGI Federal’s inability to resolve the many problems that plague the online federal health care exchanges prompted federal officials to look elsewhere for IT help.

Obama administration officials are preparing to sign a 12-month contract valued at $90 million with a different contractor, Accenture, after CGI Federal’s contract expires in February, the Washington Post reported, citing “a person familiar with the matter.”

“Accenture, which is one of the world’s largest consulting firms, has extensive experience with computer systems on the state level, and it built California’s new health insurance exchange,” the Post report notes. “But it has not done substantial work on any federal health-care program.”

Reports that the White House is running away from CGI Federal and seeking help elsewhere could signal that, rather than having things under control, the administration is still scrambling for a solution to its faulty multi-billion dollar website.

Recall that after months of insisting on an in-house fix, the White House conceded defeat in December and handed the website over to experts in the private sector. The reported deal with Accenture could be just another attempt to branch out to find someone to repair the glitch-prone mess of a website.
