PR Newswire (US)
FAIRFAX, Va., Aug. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SRA International
(NYSE:SRX), a leading provider of technology and strategic
consulting services and solutions to government organizations,
today announced it has won a 3.5-year task order to provide
enterprise-wide information technology (IT) support services for
the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS).
Awarded in May under the National Institutes of Health's (NIH)
CIO-SP2i Contract, the task order has an estimated value of $26.3
million, if all options are exercised. Under the task order, SRA
will provide an enterprise-wide solution for IT infrastructure
operations, applications development and bioinformatics systems
support for NIEHS, including IT security as well as scientific IT
and software applications support. NIEHS is one of 27 research
institutes and centers that comprise NIH. Located in Research
Triangle Park, North Carolina, the institute's mission is to reduce
the burden of human illness and disability by understanding how the
environment influences the development and progression of human
disease. While SRA has long provided a variety of health research
services to support NIEHS' programs, this new task order
demonstrates the focus SRA has placed on combining science and IT
as well as a continued commitment to making a positive impact on
environmental health issues. "SRA has a rich heritage of
accomplishment supporting environmental health programs, research
and scientific pursuits, as well as enterprise level IT innovation
and solutions," said SRA Global Health Sector Senior Vice President
Timothy Atkin. "This project is particularly meaningful for us
because of the long-standing relationship we have with NIEHS
through our health research work and our support of such
initiatives as the National Toxicology Program. We are honored to
partner with NIEHS to ensure that information technology enhances
the scientific efforts to understand environmental impacts and,
ultimately, to reduce human illness and disability." SRA will
primarily support this project from its office in Durham, N.C.
