Sapient Announced as Prime Vendor on Major Marine Corps Contract Vehicle

bwire



ARLINGTON, Va. (Business Wire) -- Sapient (NASDAQ: SAPE) today announced it has been awarded a
Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) as a prime vendor for the United
States Marine Corps' Commercial Enterprise Omnibus Support Services
(CEOss) business model. CEOss is a contracting vehicle that the Marine
Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM) uses to deliver service contracts
to Navy and Marine Corps commands in service of the operating forces.
This award establishes Sapient as a prime vendor in the Engineering
and Scientific (ES) domain, one of four competency-based domains
within the CEOss model, offering support to the Marine Corps in such
areas as Enterprise IT Planning, Information Assurance, and Joint
Program Initiatives. Since 2005, Sapient has served as a subcontractor
on numerous task orders in the other three CEOss domains: Acquisition
Logistics and Administration (ALA), Business & Analytical (BA) and
Specialty Engineering (SE).


Sapient shares a rich heritage with the United States Marine Corps
dating back to 1996. Over this period, Sapient has delivered a wide
range of critical services to the Marine Corps ranging from command
and control strategy to logistics and supply chain management.
Sapient's experience with a broad spectrum of systems, programs of
record and stakeholders gives the company unique insight into the most
topical initiatives and challenges facing the Marine Corps today.


One of the recent highlights of Sapient's work with the Marine
Corps includes providing direct programmatic and technical support in
deploying a tactical logistics command and control system to Marines
throughout the world. In addition, Sapient has built a strong track
record within the CEOss business model by performing as a
subcontractor on ten CEOss task orders in the past year.


Sapient Government Services works with a growing range of
departments and agencies across the United States federal government.
In addition to supporting the Marine Corps, Sapient Government
Services actively partners with the Department of Homeland Security
(DHS), the Department of Justice (DOJ), National Institutes of Health
(NIH) and other U.S. Government agencies.


"Sapient is proud to strengthen our relationship with the Marine
Corps as a prime vendor within the CEOss business model, and we are
excited to extend our capabilities to different customers and leaders
within the Marine Corps through CEOss," said Hank Summy, Senior Vice
President and leader of Sapient's Government Services unit.


The Sapient CEOss Engineering Services Team includes nine
industry-leading companies, designed to provide maximum capability to
meet the critical priorities of CEOss customers. The members of the
Sapient Team include: Universal Systems & Technology Inc. (UNITECH),
RCI, INS Lockheed Martin (INS LM), Decision Engineering Associates,
Flatter & Associates, Inc., Keane, Next Century, SRA International and
Systems Technology Forum Ltd. (STF). More information on Sapient's
