Booz Allen Hamilton secured a blanket purchase agreement from the EPA’s Office of Research and Development to modernize operations and protect human health and the environment.
Booz Allen was awarded one of four positions on the 7-year Scientific Modeling, Application, Visualization, Computational Science, Software, and Statistical Support contract, which has a ceiling of $431 million.
“Booz Allen has a long-standing history of supporting technical and scientific work at the highest levels of government,” said Prachi Sukhatankar, vice president at Booz Allen and a leader in the firm’s climate and infrastructure business.
“We’re on a quest for breakthrough solutions that will protect the environment and human health, elevate U.S. economic prosperity, and bolster national security,” Sukhatankar added. “This newest EPA endeavor will allow us to continue our work in propelling our innovation ecosystem and solutions within climate missions — using AI, for instance, to make scientific data more actionable and usable.”
Under the contract, Booz Allen will provide AI, machine learning and data analytics capabilities, and advanced technology like scientific modeling and geospatial analysis, for ongoing critical EPA efforts.
Booz Allen will help EPA ORD elevate the use of scientific and technical data to improve the speed, quality, accuracy and defensibility of agencywide science related to disaster relief, clean drinking water, human health and more, the company said.
“The SMAVCS4 BPA aligns with Booz Allen’s growth strategy of Velocity, Leadership, and Technology (VoLT) by addressing climate resiliency as a mission of national importance,” said Dave Sulek, senior vice president and a strategy and policy expert leading climate and infrastructure work at Booz Allen. “This work also enables our firm to apply and fully capitalize on our significant investments in digital, advanced data analytics, AI, and ML technologies to support ORD’s most pressing scientific, mission, and programmatic priorities to strengthen the nation’s resiliency.”
