CHESS allows users to acquire a variety of IT solutions through specific contract vehicles. This consolidates purchases of IT products for the U.S. Army.
In 2005, CHESS introduced the Consolidated Buy (CB) program. This allowed the Army to offer IT solutions at a lower cost, through a large quantity purchasing strategy. It allows end users to purchase CHESS-approved hardware and services at the same rate. In 2010, CHESS is reported to have helped the Army generate a cost avoidance of $724 million.[3]
