The contract spans a five-year ordering period, during which HORUS will perform comprehensive program management tasks. This includes the creation and maintenance of a Management Plan, Program Backlog, and Roadmap, meticulous risk and issue management, and the establishment and upkeep of the OpFund web portal modernization document repository.
