SI International Awarded New Task Order Supporting DoD's National Security Personnel System RESTON, Va., Feb. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SI International, Inc. (NASDAQ:SINT), an information technology and network solutions (IT) company, today announced that the Department of Defense (DoD) has selected SI International to provide training support for DoD's implementation of its progressive civilian personnel system, the National Security Personnel System (NSPS). The task order that covers preparation for first phase roll out is approximately $1.9 million with potential for additional funding through follow-on task orders and for future phases of implementation. SI International will assist the DoD in the development and delivery of content-specific technical, operational, and management training addressing pay and classification, performance management, staffing and workforce shaping, adverse actions, and labor-management relations. The training involves informing and educating the DoD civilian workforce about the NSPS, a performance-based human capital initiative. Over 300,000 U.S.-based Army, Navy, Air Force and DoD agency civilian employees will participate in the training courses during the first phase, which is scheduled to begin during the summer of 2005. NSPS is one of Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld's key initiatives for the transformation of DoD operations to better meet the military's needs for the 21st century. Given the global war on terrorism, the role of DoD's civilian workforce is expanding to include more significant participation in combat support functions that will allow military personnel to focus on mission-critical warfighting duties.
