Sept. 24, 2007 – Newberry included in $5 billion federal contract

The Newberry Group, Inc is included in a $5 billion information technology contract with the U.S. General Services Administration.

The contract, known as the Veterans Technology Services Government-Wide Acquisition Contract, is the result of a 2004 executive order from President Bush calling for three percent of all federal contracting to be done with Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses.

As a subcontractor for Vienna, Va.-based Veterans Enterprise Technical Solutions, Inc., Newberry can perform Systems Operations and Maintenance services and Information Systems Engineering services for a variety of federal agencies under the contract. It is an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity five-year contract with one five-year option. More than forty other contractors can provide services under the contract.

“This contract provides another vehicle that allows our customers to reach The Newberry Group” said Diego Maldonado, Senior Vice President of Newberry’s Government Technology Group.

Maldonado said the contract will give Newberry increased access to existing federal clients such as the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Air Force as well as new clients in the federal government. The amount of work, specific tasks and values of any work under this contract have not yet been determined.
