HERNDON, Va., April 2, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Serco Inc., a provider of professional, technology, and management services, announced today that the Company has been awarded a new task order under the GSA Alliant 2 Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to manage, configure, deploy, sustain, and enhance NexGen IT program solutions for Air Force (AF) Civil Engineering (CE).
