The company that built the failed Obamacare website received six
additional contracts from the Obama administration’s Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services after the website’s disastrous launch,
The Daily Caller has learned.
According to a company spokesman, CGI Federal was awarded six
additional contracts from CMS worth approximately $37 million between
October 1 — when the over $600 million Obamacare website launched —
through January 2014.
CGI Federal is the U.S. arm of the Canadian company CGI Group, and
was formed in 2009 to bring CGI into the federal contracting business.
The company employs Michelle Obama’s Princeton classmate, and 2010 White House Christmas guest, Toni T0wnes-Whitley as a top executive.
CGI, which received the Obamacare website contract in Obama’s first
term, was fired from its role as prime contractor on the website in
January.
But the idea that CMS, a division of Kathleen Sebelius’ Department of Health and Human Services, would cancel its other pending contracts with CGI “does not reflect the relationship that CGI has with CMS,” a CGI spokesman told TheDC.
