“The plan suffered expensive glitches a decade ago and so far has cost $3.7 billion. Contractors on the project include Computer Sciences Corp. (CSC), based in Falls Church, Virginia; New York-based Deloitte Consulting LLP; andLockheed Martin Corp. (LMT), based in Bethesda, Maryland, according to Bloomberg Government data. The heart of the modernization effort involves building a database, known internally as CADE2 and projected to cost at least $1.3 billion through 2024. So far, the IRS has spent about $172 million on what some in the Government Accountability Office and the tax agency call a crown-jewel database, with $66 million going to CSC.”
