BTG on Team Awarded Joint Staff Information Technology Contract
FAIRFAX, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 13, 2000--BTG, Inc. (Nasdaq: BTGI), an information systems and technical services company, announced that it is a member of the FC Business Systems (FCBS) team that has been awarded a $24 million contract for the Joint Staff at the Pentagon under the Information Technology Omnibus Procurement (ITOP-II) contract.
The Joint Staff contract, which has a term of one year with the potential of four option years, was awarded by the Operations Division of the Joint Staff Information Resources Management Office at the Pentagon. The ITOP-II program is a $10 billion government-wide procurement vehicle under which federal agencies can acquire a full range of information technology services and products from teams of contractors.
BTG will lead the execution team of FCBS, CACI, KEI, Corbett, and NetCentrics. Under the terms of the Joint Staff contract, the team will provide information technology support services that include help desk operations, network operations, system security, hardware installation support, Autodin/Defense Message System technical support, and administration of the Joint Staff training program. BTG provides similar services at the Pentagon for the Department of the Army's Information Management Support Center (IMCEN.) BTG Senior Vice President Les Rose, General Manager of Applied Engineering Solutions, said the company is very pleased with the opportunity to expand its support to the Pentagon with the Joint Staff program. "Our team looks forward to a partnership with the Joint Staff Information Resources Management Office to put in place innovative solutions for transparent information technology support."
Rose said the Joint Staff win was particularly satisfying because it was highly competitive. He noted that it continues a string of recent awards that include the selection of a BTG-led team for the first phase of the Department of Defense $60 million Integrated Broadcast Service, a $6.5 million addition to a BTG Modeling and Simulation program for the National Security Agency, and the selection of BTG as one of the teams on the General Services Administration's $20 billion Millennia Lite information technology services contract. |
