ICT GROUP, INC. (NASDAQ:ICTG), a leading global provider of
customer management and business process outsourcing solutions,
announced today that it has been awarded a competitively bid Task
Order under the General Services Administration’s USA Contact
vehicle, to continue its operation of the Federal Citizen
Information Center’s (FCIC) National Contact Center (NCC).
The task order was competed among the nine pre-qualified USA
Contact contractors. ICT GROUP’s proposal was found to offer the
greatest value to the government. The task order is for one base
year with four one-year options. Its estimated value is $24 million
over the next five years.
“This contract is a significant win for ICT GROUP, as it
strengthens our position in the government sector in an era of
increased federal competition,” stated John J. Brennan, Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer of ICT GROUP. “Furthermore, this win
demonstrates ICT GROUP’s ongoing commitment to the delivery of
high-quality citizen services, which we have provided to the
Federal government since 2004.”
ICT GROUP will continue to use its state-of-the-art contact
center in Lakeland, FL, as well as begin utilizing its Lock Haven,
PA, center to provide program redundancy and flexibility in
responding to citizen phone calls, e-mails and Web chat inquiries
to the National Contact Center.
Under the terms of the USA Contact Task Order supporting the
National Contact Center, ICT GROUP will continue providing a fully
integrated, multi-channel contact center solution, responding to
citizen information needs via the toll-free 1-800-FED-INFO line,
e-mail and Web chat inquiries received via the USA.gov website,
orders for consumer publications to be processed by the Pueblo, CO,
publication distribution center, and responding to public inquiries
on behalf of selected federal agencies. ICT GROUP will deliver
attended services from 8 a.m. – 8 p.m. (ET) on weekdays; the
Company will continue to provide the USA.gov website with a
state-of-the-art Web self-service Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
tool, providing visitors with 24/7 access the most up-to-date
information.
GSA’s Office of Citizen Services serves as the nation’s focal
point for information and services offered by the federal
government. The National Contact Center answers citizen inquiries
on behalf of multiple federal agencies, including the Department of
State’s Overseas Citizens Services Hotline, the Department of the
Interior’s Fish and Wildlife Service Public Inquiry program, and a
variety of E-Gov initiatives, via ICT GROUP’s fully integrated
multi-channel citizen contact solutions.
A major component of the GSA’s Citizen Services E-Gov
initiative, USA Contact gives federal agencies and departments an
efficient, cost-effective contract vehicle for procuring single or
multi-dimensional contact center services.
ICT GROUP will begin delivering services under its new contract
on September 1, 2009.
