Vivisimo, Gigablast Snare FirstGov Contracts
Vivisimo's partnership with MSN has led to it receiving one of three Blanket Purchase Agreements from the GSA.
FirstGov.gov, a web site focused on delivering government information to the public, has a new top-three list of Internet search engines eligible to compete for federal task orders through September of 2010. Gigablast, Vivisimo, and Norwegian-based FAST Search and Transfer received the news from the General Services Administration.
Gigablast congratulated Vivisimo, a longtime Gigablast client, in a statement today. Vivisimo, working with MSN Search, won the first task order awarded. That task order will see Vivisimo and MSN provide enhanced search results for the FirstGov web portal.
In the new arrangement, Vivisimo will use MSN Search Web Service to pull results from government documents in its index. Further, filtering operators supported by MSN Search will help users better query for documents. Vivisimo will use its Velocity software and Clusty search service to cluster MSN and Vivisimo government search results.
"Together with Microsoft, we will build the finest government search portal the world has seen, helping citizens learn and profit from the rich information offered across thousands of government Web sites," said Raul Valdes-Perez, CEO and co-founder of Vivísimo, in a statement today.
