Thomas & Herbert Consulting LLC (T&H) Wins the Department
of Homeland Security (DHS) Information Technology Support for
Integrated Terrorist Screening Contract SILVER SPRING, Md., July 13
/PRNewswire/ -- Thomas & Herbert Consulting LLC (T&H), a
management consulting and information technology firm, announced
today that on April 29, 2004 it was awarded a contract to provide
technical support to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)
Office of the Chief Information Officer. T&H's support team
includes McLean, Va.-based BearingPoint, Inc. (NYSE:BE) and
Fairfax, Va.-based SRA International, Inc. (NYSE:SRX). This
contract is to assist DHS in meeting the objectives of Homeland
Security Presidential Directive/HSPD-6, which directs agencies to
"consolidate the Government's approach to terrorism screening and
provide for the appropriate and lawful use of Terrorist Information
in screening processes." It states that departments and agencies
shall "provide to the Terrorist Threat Integration Center (TTIC) on
an ongoing basis all appropriate Terrorist Information in their
possession, custody or control." In turn the TTIC will provide the
organization that manages the Government's consolidated terrorist
watch list (now established as the TSC under the operational
management of the FBI) access to all appropriate information or
intelligence that the TSC requires to perform its functions.
Further, HSPD-6 states " ... agencies shall conduct screening using
such information at all appropriate opportunities." The contract is
a one year blanket purchase agreement (BPA) with options for four
renewals of one year each. The initial task order under the BPA
will focus on documenting the "As-Is" work processes and data flows
of terrorist information within DHS's border-security and other
screening programs, and on coordination of DHS plans to define
improved "To-Be" processes. The "To-Be" environment is envisioned
as employing automated interfaces between DHS systems and the TSC's
Terrorist Screening Database (TSDB), plus enhanced processes for
getting value from this data. In addition to the above tasks,
T&H may be called upon to provide limited operational technical
support for the DHS detailees and other staff at the TSC and/or the
TTIC. "This project is a critical component to streamlining the
information- sharing process between agencies involved in homeland
security, and ultimately, providing the tools to help make the
country more secure," said Rodney Thomas, Chief Executive Officer
of T&H. "As a veteran who served our country during the Libyan
crisis of the mid 1980s, I am honored to engage my company's
expertise in combating modern-day terrorism for a program of this
magnitude." "The lack of information sharing between intelligence
and law enforcement agencies, particularly with regard to
information about terrorists, is no doubt a gap in our ability to
secure the homeland," said Darryl Moody, Senior Vice President of
the Homeland Security and Intelligence Practice at BearingPoint.
"We're delighted to be working with T&H and are proud to put
BearingPoint's experience to work for this essential national
security endeavor." "This effort is extremely important to
improving domestic security," said Mary Ellen Condon, SRA Vice
President of Homeland Security. "We look forward to supporting this
high visibility program." About Thomas & Herbert Consulting LLC
