This bill requires the General Services Administration (GSA) to establish an Information Technology Modernization Centers of Excellence Program to facilitate the adoption of modern technology by executive agencies on a reimbursable basis.

The bill lists program responsibilities, including to

  • encourage the modernization of information technology used by an executive agency and how a customer interacts with the agency;
  • improve cooperation between commercial and executive agency information technology sectors;
  • encourage the adoption of commercial items; and
  • upon request by the executive agency, to assist an agency with planning and adoption of technology in focus areas designated by the GSA, which may include artificial intelligence.

The GSA shall (1) coordinate with the Department of Homeland Security in establishing the program to ensure that the technology, tools, and frameworks facilitated for executive agencies by the program provide sufficient cybersecurity and maintain the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of federal information; and (2) report to Congress on the program.
