ALTA Systems, Inc. has been acquired by ManTech International Corporation, allowing ManTech to deliver technology services through ALTA’s prime position on the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Enterprise Systems Development (ESD) contract. The ID/IQ contract vehicle has a $4 billion ceiling and period of performance through May 2018.
“This acquisition is consistent with our strategy to steadily expand our service offering in the growing healthcare market,” said George J. Pedersen, ManTech Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “ManTech will continue to pursue acquisition opportunities that help us drive organic growth and support our customers’ critical missions. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) will require significant investment in IT systems and processes. With the acquisition of ALTA, ManTech is better positioned to help government programs and healthcare providers meet their responsibilities to provide efficient and comprehensive health care.”
ALTA, which will be a part of ManTech’s existing health care business, provides a broad range of IT and professional services to government and private industry in three major practice areas: capital planning and investment control, system design, development and operation, and fraud detection and statistical analysis.
“We are proud to become part of a company like ManTech, which has such a strong record and trusted name in IT,” said ALTA CEO Cindy Perlberg. “Our customers will benefit from the broader service offering of the combined company and our employees will benefit from expanded professional development opportunities.”
