U.S. to Pay for Consultants in Rio Gov't. IT Project

U.S. taxpayers will make it possible for the Rio de Janeiro government to obtain free technical consultation for a planned data center in that Brazilian state. The U.S. Trade & Development Agency (USTDA) is soliciting bids from potential U.S. contractors to provide such consultancy to PRODERJ, Rio’s information, communications, and telecommunications agency. USTDA will pay the vendor $675,000 “to design a complete roadmap and implementation plan” as well as “provide recommendations and define necessary standards to assure all future IT systems adopted by state agencies are installed in a complementary and interoperable fashion.”
