Apptis Awarded DHS Contract



Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Office of the Chief Procurement Officer (OCPO) has awarded a contract to Apptis. This contract has a one-year period of performance, with two one-year options, and is valued at over $1 million.

Officials with Apptis said that as part of the contract the company will provide Information Technology Systems Security Services (ITSSS) for the portfolio of systems and electronic tools in support of DHS' Acquisition Support Branch (ASB (News - Alert)).

Company officials said that Apptis will leverage its knowledge of the DHS Software Engineering Lifecycle (SELC) and Enterprise Architecture (EA) processes to develop and enhance the DHS eProcurement systems by providing information technology services and management tools designed to reinforce business processes and consistency and facilitate efficient and effective acquisition of goods and service. This will enable DHS to leverage investment costs and promote competition, transparency, integrity, and consistency for its acquisition and procurement workforce.

"We have delivered Information Security services, and in particular ISSO support, to DHS and other agencies for most of the past decade. Given our depth of understanding of federal requirements, effective security techniques, and the DHS eProcurement systems, we will deliver a common business environment and enhance information systems and tools to grow with the ASB requirements," said Skip Nowland, president and COO of Apptis, in a statement.

Nowland said that it is an honor to continue work with DHS.
