What role do VITA employees play in the IT Infrastructure Partnership?
Under the IT Infrastructure Partnership framework, Northrop Grumman assumed responsibility for and made offers to more than 850 VITA employees who were performing infrastructure or operational functions for the agency. These employees, known as “in scope” personnel, were offered compensation of equal or better value and competitive benefits. Sixty-seven percent of these employees accepted Northrop Grumman’s offer and became Northrop Grumman employees. The 33 percent of the in scope personnel who did not accept Northrop Grumman’s offer remain as state employees performing Northrop Grumman’s statement of work. They will continue to follow all current and applicable state and agency policies, procedures, and will receive the state’s benefits.
