SRA tapped to support EPA I-Star program

SRA International Inc. won a five-year, $29 million blanket purchase agreement from the Environmental Protection Agency to support its I-Star Database System and Climate Protection Partnerships Division, the company said today.

SRA has worked with the Climate Protection Partnerships Division since 2001 to consolidate, upgrade and modernize EPA's IT infrastructure.

The division creates partnerships with public and private organizations through voluntary programs that promote cost-effective energy efficiency and greenhouse-gas emissions reductions.

Under the new contract, EPA will continue and complete the IT modernization project and develop the next-generation information management and database system.

The work includes enhancements to the I-Star database, which provides data management and reporting tools for partnership programs, and the Energy Star Web site, a volunteer labeling program for identifying and promoting energy-efficient products.

SRA will provide requirements analysis; systems design, development, integration and testing; Web development; and information security.

Fairfax, Va.-based SRA offers IT services and solutions to federal government agencies and is No. 31 on Washington Technology's 2004 Top 100 list of prime federal contractors.
