FAIRFAX, Va., Nov. 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SRA International, Inc.

The DHS Mentor-Protege program was created to encourage large, established prime contractors to develop the technical and management capabilities of small, disadvantaged businesses. Under this three-year agreement, SRA will provide developmental assistance and mentoring to CDS2 in areas such as marketing and business development, technical training and professional development, contract administration, and human resources. "SRA has always been a strong supporter of small businesses, and we look forward to helping CDS2 enhance its capabilities and understanding of the government IT marketplace," said Renny DiPentima, SRA President and CEO. "The mentor-protege program not only helps smaller companies to compete and win new business, it also develops IT partnerships that both companies can use to better support our clients." CDS2 is a women-owned business that has been certified by the Small Business Administration as a Small Disadvantaged Business and Section 8(a) company. The company, founded in 1994, is based in Clifton, Virginia, and provides technical, engineering, and strategic program management services to clients in the intelligence community; the Departments of Defense, Education, Justice and Treasury; and the National Institutes of Health. CDS2 currently works with SRA on contracts for defense and homeland security clients. As part of the mentor-protege agreement, SRA will actively seek to identify other subcontracting opportunities on existing and future contracts. "CDS2 is excited about the potential opportunities and enhancement of our practices that can result from this Mentor-Protege relationship," said CDS2 President Barbara Hennessy.
