Business Wire
Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (NYSE:JEC) and small business
partner TANTARA Corporation of Worcester, Mass. announced today
that they were selected to receive the 2013 DoD Nunn-Perry Award.
This prestigious award recognizes exceptional performance in the
DoD Mentor-Protégé Program in the areas of quality, technical
assistance, return on investment, and protégé development.
Jacobs partnered with TANTARA, a small disadvantaged,
woman-owned, 8(a) firm, and provided the company assistance to
become a preferred supplier to the Army, capable of providing
value-added support of the Army’s mission in areas including small
arms firing ranges and unexploded ordnance (UXO).
TANTARA is a growing firm that provides a full suite of
environmental remediation and construction services in a highly
competitive marketplace supporting multiple clients throughout the
eastern United States. The firm was recently awarded its first
design-build contract for range improvements. During its
relationship with Jacobs, TANTARA significantly increased its
revenue, staffing and new awards.
In making the announcement, Jacobs Group Vice President Robert
Norfleet stated, "We are very proud of the growth TANTARA has
realized during our mentor-protégé relationship. Jacobs is a
long-time supporter of the small and disadvantaged business
community, and we take a particular interest in mentoring small
businesses within the federal contracting arena."
In 1995, the DoD presented the first Nunn-Perry Awards to
recognize successful mentor-protégé relationships. The award is
named in honor of former Senator Sam Nunn for his vision in
sponsoring legislation to create and fund the DoD Mentor-Protégé
Program and in honor of former Defense Secretary William Perry for
his commitment to implementing the program.
Jacobs is one of the world's largest and most diverse providers
of technical professional and construction services.
