The Arlington, Va., company announced in mid-March that it was acquiring Blueprint Technologies, a private, woman-owned, small business that specializes in architecture-based solutions. The terms of the stock transaction were not disclosed.

Pearson Government Solutions originally expected to close the deal in early April.
