GSA Announces First Wave of Alliant 3 Awards: Here Are the 43 Phase 1 Winners

On February 20, 2026, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced the first wave of awards under Alliant 3, the government wide acquisition contract (GWAC) for enterprise information technology services. This initial round is Phase 1 of a phased rollout that will ultimately reach 76 awards (plus ties).

We focus on the initial Alliant 3 contracts issued in Phase 1 and exactly which companies received them.

Alliant 3 Phase 1 at a glance

• Total proposals received: 133

• Phase 1 initial contracts issued: 43

• Total planned awards: 76 (plus ties)

• Award process: phased, with additional awardees expected in later rounds

What Alliant 3 is

Alliant 3 is a GSA governmentwide acquisition contract (GWAC) and a multiple-award IDIQ vehicle. In practical terms, it is a pre-competed contract that lets federal agencies buy a wide range of IT services faster, with task orders competed among the awardees.

Alliant 3 supports enterprise IT modernization needs such as:

• Cloud services and cloud migration

• Cybersecurity

• Systems engineering

• Software development and application modernization

• Data solutions and analytics

• Other emerging technology related support

What “Phase 1 initial contracts” means

If a company is listed in Phase 1, it received an initial Alliant 3 contract award in the first wave and is positioned to compete for task orders under the vehicle.

If a company is not listed in Phase 1, it may still be under consideration for later phases. GSA is proceeding in phases until the full set of awards is complete, and debriefings are expected after all phases conclude.

Why this first wave matters

A major on ramp for federal IT work

Alliant vehicles often become high velocity channels for modernization programs, because agencies can compete task orders quickly among pre-vetted firms.

Task orders are where the real competition begins

Being on the vehicle matters, but most revenue is won at the task order level through pricing, past performance fit, teaming, and technical approach.

The award list will grow

Phase 1 is not the final roster. Additional award phases are expected until GSA completes the full set of awards.
