The Deparment of Commerce (DOC) awarded contracts to twenty nine small businesses to provide an array of technology services ranging from managing local-area networks to creating Internet Solutions. The contract carries an estimated value of $1.5 billion over five years. RTI is teamed with Technology Planning and Management Corp. (TPMC), http://www.tpmc.com, as a subcontractor to TPMC. RTI brings significant experience in distributed systems, network architecture, and the software lifecycle development to the table to complement the TPMC skill set to support COMMITS. This vehicle is open to everyone in the DOC and other agency (ala ITOP II) who may need information technology services, including data mining, data warehousing, network management, software engineering, geographic information systems development and Internet applications. The DOC specifically set up the COMMITS for small businesses and all contractors and sub-contracts must have a small business status to qualify. This win represents a major milestone for RTI.
