CGI Federal announces award as a prime contractor for Department of
Homeland Security EAGLE II contract
Multi-award contract vehicle allows CGI to compete for new
projects
FAIRFAX, VIRGINIA--(Marketwired - May 22, 2014) - The U.S.
Department of Homeland Security has selected CGI Federal Inc. (CGI)
(NYSE:GIB)(TSX:GIB.A) as a prime contractor for a program that will
allow the company to compete to provide a range of new technology
services and products that support the agency's critical mission
and business functions.
DHS announced on this month that CGI Federal had been selected
as a prime contractor under its Enterprise Acquisition Gateway for
Leading Edge Solutions II (EAGLE II) contract on the Unrestricted
Track in Functional Category 1, Service Delivery, including
Integration, Software Design/Development, Operations &
Maintenance program. EAGLE II is an "indefinite-delivery,
indefinite-quantity" contract vehicle that provides a $22B ceiling
to procure IT services over the seven year period of performance.
CGI is one of 68 awardees on this track that will be authorized to
compete to provide services under this Functional Category. CGI
will compete to provide advanced mission-enabling technical
solutions including cloud services, big data and analytic
solutions, agile methodologies, continuous integration and
operations, mobile solutions, continuous monitoring and cyber
security.
"CGI will support DHS in protecting our nation, its citizens,
resources, and critical infrastructure in an increasingly dynamic
and sophisticated threat environment," said Dr. James Peake, Lt.
Gen. (Ret), President, CGI Federal. "We are looking forward to
continuing and growing our partnership with DHS."
DHS has a broad mission to secure the nation from a range of
threats, from aviation and border security to emergency response;
from cybersecurity analysis to chemical facility inspections. CGI
has a long history with the agency, having provided a range of IT
services to the Coast Guard since 1996. CGI is also a leading cloud
service provider to the agency. The new contract may give the
company an opportunity to expand its footprint with DHS and provide
a greater role in providing mission-critical IT services to the
federal government agency.
EAGLE II may put CGI in an even stronger position to support DHS
in its vast and varied role in responding effectively and rapidly
to natural disasters through enhanced information sharing
capabilities and immigration and law enforcement systems, enhanced
Risk-Based Security solutions, emergency response capabilities, and
proactive global enforcement solutions.
"CGI will deliver solutions with an increased capability to
proactively monitor and thwart threats before they arise," said
Timothy J. Hurlebaus, CGI Federal senior vice president and
National Security Defense Programs business unit leader. "Our "as a
service offerings", predictive analytics, agile development and
continuous integration will help bring mission capability to market
faster."
