FAIRFAX,
VA, June 26, 2006 – ICF International
announced today that it was awarded a blanket
purchase agreement (BPA) to supply professional and program
management support services to all components of
the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
The agreement, with an estimated potential value
of US$500 million or more over five years, is part
of the Department's effort to increase competition
and efficiency through strategic sourcing.
"We are very excited for the opportunity
to apply the broad program management capabilities
and deep homeland security
experience of ICF and our
teaming partners to support the DHS mission," says
Ellen
Glover, an executive vice president at ICF
and recognized leader in technology
and management solutions. "This agreement provides
us a tremendous opportunity to work with the DHS
to optimize program performance while meeting the
agency's socio-economic
goals." The ICF team includes Robbins-Gioia,
AOC Applied Technologies, ICOR Partners, HW&W,
KeyLogic Systems, and Mason Harriman Group.
The BPA is part of a DHS Strategic Sourcing Initiative
where DHS is partnering with the U.S. General
Services Administration (GSA) to evaluate Department-wide
requirements and spending, as well as to reduce
procurement costs, maximize performance, and improve
competition.
"We are honored to offer our extensive program
management expertise to assist the DHS in its
mission to prevent terrorist attacks within the
United States, reduce America's vulnerability
to terrorism, and minimize damage from potential
attacks and natural disasters," says Michael
Byrne, an ICF senior vice president and homeland
and national security expert.
