Army CHESS (Computer Hardware Enterprise Software and Solutions) is the main provider of commercial enterprise information technology (IT) solutions, computer software, and hardware for the United States Army.[1] CHESS allows authorised U.S. Army and other Federal Agency commissioners to easily procure a wide array of IT hardware and services through various contracting vessels. [2]

CHESS allows users to acquire an array of IT solutions through specific contract vehicles. This allows for a consolidated purchase of IT products for the U.S. Army.

In 2005, CHESS introduced the Consolidated Buy (CB) program, intended to allow the Army to offer IT solutions at a lower cost, through a large quantity purchasing strategy that 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]
