Accenture Federal Services Wins $936.7M TIVOD Contract

The Department of Education has awarded a hybrid firm-fixed-price contract to Accenture Federal Services to support the transition of the Title IV Origination and Disbursement, or TIVOD, system and customer services. The award, valued at $936.7 million, supports the DOE’s Office of Federal Student Aid, shortened to FSA, according to a notice on SAM.gov.

TIVOD Program

The FSA plays a central role in the disbursement of federal financial assistance to eligible students. The office provides over $500 billion in grants, loans and work-study funds annually to around 34 million students to ensure wider access to postsecondary education.

The TIVOD contract ensures that various systems involved in federal student aid meet the requirements of the FSA. The contract covers the Common Origination and Disbursement system, the National Student Loan Data System, the Enterprise Data Warehouse and Analytics platform, the Enterprise Data Management and Analytics Platform Services, and the Federal Tax Information Datamart.

The Accenture subsidiary will move all TIVOD systems to a unified cloud platform and integrate approved APIs within the FSA enterprise. The company will also modernize all systems and processes under the contract to be more flexible and technically agile.

In addition, Accenture Federal Services will lay down the foundation to enable the Education Department and FSA to introduce and scale automation.

The project is expected to centralize project management tools, code repositories and common development tools related to federal student aid and improve transparency.
