HERNDON, VA- Karsun Solutions announced it was awarded, as part of a team led by Softrams, work under the General Services Administration (GSA) Business Intelligence (BI) FUSION Support Services Task Order.

GSA strives to provide the right vehicle at the right price with great service to its customers and emphasizes a focus on the data required to effectively and efficiently manage its Fleet.  GSA offers purchasing programs, leasing programs, short-term rentals, and ancillary services such as telematics and tolling.  GSA’s modernization goal is to create an intuitive, agile, and integrated systems environment that facilitates and streamlines all aspects of Fleet Management functions from the customer, supplier, and GSA Fleet employee perspectives.

GSA awarded the task order under the CIO Modernization and Enterprise Transformation (COMET) blanket purchase agreement (BPA).

Among those is the fleet management platform through the FLEET AFP task order. The GSA Fleet award is one of the first major modernization efforts to be awarded under the COMET BPA.

“We recognize this is a major modernization initiative for the government,” said Kartik Mecheri, Karsun Solutions Co-Founder and Chief Architect. “Backed by a strong team and innovative spirit we will advance the Fleet platform through our modern software development practices and technologies.”

This is the organization’s second award under the COMET BPA. In June it announced it was awarded the GSA Enhanced Checkout (GECO) Task Order.
