Company Will Deliver Scalable, Cloud
Applications That Reduce the Risk of Wildland Fires
RESTON,
Va., Dec. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- ICF
(NASDAQ:ICFI), a global consulting and technology services
provider, was recently awarded a new $78
million task order by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's
(USDA) U.S. Forest Service (USFS) to
modernize wildfire management applications and services. The task
order, which was awarded under ICF's General Services
Administration's (GSA) IT Schedule with ICF as the team lead in
conjunction with Xentity Corp through a GSA contractor teaming
agreement in the third quarter of 2023, has a term of seven years,
including a one-year base and six 12-month option periods.
The ICF team will leverage its expertise in disaster management
and climate solutions, cloud-native geospatial technology and
advanced analytics to modernize USFS' Fire and Aviation Management
Enterprise Geospatial Portal (EGP). The EGP is a vital resource
that offers standardized geospatial information on wildfire
activities. Using a human-centered design approach, the team will
create a seamless, scalable solution, "EGP Next Gen." This solution
will empower the wildland fire community to swiftly make
data-driven decisions in a mission-critical environment.
This follows the recent announcement of a new $30 million blanket purchase agreement by
the U.S. Department of the Interior to modernize the National
Wildfire Coordinating Group's training systems and establish
incident position standards, also drawing on the company's
extensive disaster management and climate expertise.
"With the increasing frequency and severity of wildfires and
natural events, fire management agencies need partners with deep
domain expertise in disaster management and climate, as well as a
stellar track record of deploying cutting-edge technologies to
enhance community and environmental resilience," said Mark Lee, ICF chief technology executive. "The
ICF team brings all of this and more to support a next-generation
platform that enables the interagency fire community to better
protect our forests, people and communities."
ICF has been partnering with USDA for over a decade, delivering
cloud, open source and low-code solutions grounded in customer
experience, human-centered design and a deep understanding of
USDA's mission and program requirements.
ICF combines deep domain expertise with leading-edge
technologies, advanced analytics and human-centered practices to
help federal agencies design technology solutions that reduce
time-to-value. The company's over 2,000 technologists work
