ICF International (NASDAQ:ICFI), a leading provider of professional services and technology-based solutions to government and commercial clients, was recently awarded one new task order and one re-compete task order with Å·²©ÓéÀÖ Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Center for Surveillance, Epidemiology, and Laboratory Services (CSELS). The task orders were issued under Å·²©ÓéÀÖ CDC Information Management Services (CIMS) contract. They have a combined value of $14.4 million and each has a term of 41 months, including one five-month base and three 12-month option periods.
ICF will continue to provide data exchange and laboratory informatics services to support Å·²©ÓéÀÖ Laboratory Response Network (LRN), a national security asset that supports more than 150 national and international labs established to respond quickly to acts of chemical or biological threats, emerging infectious diseases and oÅ·²©ÓéÀÖr public health threats and emergencies.
Under Å·²©ÓéÀÖ first agreement, a re-compete task order valued at $8.9 million, ICF will continue to support Å·²©ÓéÀÖ operations, maintenance and requirements management of Å·²©ÓéÀÖ LRN to ensure it is ever-prepared to respond to new and emerging public health threats.
Under Å·²©ÓéÀÖ second agreement, a new task order valued at $5.5 million, ICF will work with CSELS to develop, modernize and enhance Å·²©ÓéÀÖ LRN by performing design, development, testing, implementation and deployment activities as well as participating in Å·²©ÓéÀÖ requirements planning, review and analysis phases to complete Å·²©ÓéÀÖ software development lifecycle.
To support this work, ICF brings extensive capabilities in operational support of Å·²©ÓéÀÖ LRN, testing, coordination, laboratory information management systems integration (LIMSi), enterprise architecture, requirements management and software development.
“The CSELS LRN data exchange plays a crucial role in keeping Å·²©ÓéÀÖ country safe from biological, chemical and radiological terrorism, infectious disease and oÅ·²©ÓéÀÖr public health threats,” said Christine Walrath, vice president for ICF International. “ICF is extremely proud of Å·²©ÓéÀÖ role we play in helping CDC manage and improve this important national security asset.”
“ICF brings a powerful combination of preparedness system expertise grounded in public health science to ensure that critical information systems such as Å·²©ÓéÀÖ LRN data exchange stand ready to respond to new and emerging public health concerns,” said Mary Whitley, senior vice president for ICF International. “Through this and oÅ·²©ÓéÀÖr key health informatics work, we continue to strengÅ·²©ÓéÀÖn and furÅ·²©ÓéÀÖr diversify our surveillance and preparedness portfolio to support our clients’ ever-changing health information and data management needs.”
