VSE Corporation (Nasdaq:VSEC) reported today that its wholly owned subsidiary Integrated Concepts and Resources Corporation (ICRC) has been awarded two Social Security Administration (SSA) subcontracts to provide assistive technologies training and support to SSA employees with disabilities. Under the subcontracts, ICRC will provide SSA's disabled employees with specialized training and help desk user support for job-related assistive technologies, enabling the employees' optimal productivity and job satisfaction.
The assistive technologies support contract was awarded by SSA's Office of Telecommunications and Systems Operations (OTSO) to the team of Koniag Services, Inc. and ICRC. The services provided by ICRC include top line help desk support for SSA disabled employees on all SSA-approved assistive technologies. ICRC also will provide engineering support, including testing, documentation, software delivery and technical staff support. The contract has a one-year base and four one-year option periods with an expected total value to ICRC of $5 million.
The assistive technologies training contract was awarded by SSA's Office of Civil Rights and Equal Opportunity (OCREO) to the team of Favorite Consultants and ICRC. The services provided by ICRC include training for SSA disabled employees - as well as SSA support personnel - in the use of computers and job-related assistive technologies. This indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract has a one-year base and four one-year option periods.
