MCLEAN, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
As the nature and frequency of 21st century physical and
cyber security threats facing the United States continue to evolve, Booz
Allen Hamilton (NYSE: BAH) remains at the forefront in support of the
armed forces' new missions, adoption of innovative technologies, and
tackling of acquisition and budgeting challenges focused on Warfighters'
needs. Today, Booz Allen announced that it has been selected as the
prime contractor for the U.S. General Services Administration Federal
Systems Integration and Management Center (FEDSIM) $937 million Global
Threat Mitigation Program (GTMP). The award was made using GSA's One
Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services (OASIS) and represents the
largest OASIS award to date.
The GTMP will bolster U.S. security interests at home and abroad, and
protect military forces. Booz Allen will support the Department of
Defense with assessments that identify and analyze evolving and emerging
threats and provide US Army Forces Command (FORSCOM) and its operational

The GTMP task order requires Booz Allen to conduct regional strategic

implementation of an enterprise-wide methodology and approach for
training management and curriculum development. In addition, the firm
will continue to provide Counter-Improvised Explosive Device (C-IED)
training support at U.S. Army home stations and with partner nations
using live, virtual, constructive and gaming training methods. The

"Booz Allen's leadership in assisting our nation's defense agencies with
performing at top efficiency and capability has been a foundation of our
company since 1940, when founder Edwin Booz helped the Navy gear up for
World War II," said Joe Logue, executive vice president and leader of
the firm's defense business. "Booz Allen is honored to expand our
support of FORSCOM and its partners for this essential work to improve
global security, and further protect the lives of men and women in
uniform. This ‘partnership' between multiple clients will result in
significant efficiencies, knowledge sharing and improved C-IED education
that includes establishing training locations, preparing or executing
instructional experiences for partner nations, planning and executing
educational aids and providing logistical support.
"We believe our expertise with defense acquisition, military
professional development and threat analysis is the differentiator to
help ensure FORSCOM and its partners meet their mission priorities,"
Logue said.
Brian McKeon, executive vice president and leader of the firm's Army
business, said, "Booz Allen has consistently collaborated with FORSCOM,
Combatant Commands, the Army National Guard, the Army Reserve, the Army
Service Component Commands and our Partner nations to combat threats
including those in cyberspace. The need to modernize and be more agile
in identifying emerging or changing threats, and rapidly mitigate them
is more important than ever before. Booz Allen is proud to continue its
