Arlington, Va., September 27, 2006 – PRO-telligent, LLC is a member of the successful SBInet Team headed by The Boeing Company (NYSE:BA) for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Secure Border Initiative (SBI), an estimated $2.5 billion contract to help secure America's northern and southern borders. PRO-telligent will be involved with the technology component of the contract in data warehousing, data mining, and information analysis.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency, part of Homeland Security, is the agency in charge of the Secure Border plan. The contract is for the first phase of the department's three-pronged secure border initiative, a comprehensive plan to protect the frontier and reduce illegal immigration. The first part of the program, called SBInet, is expected to use technology such as motion sensors, cameras, unmanned aircraft and cellular telephones to create a "virtual fence" to monitor the border and help law-enforcement agents catch illegal immigrants sneaking across the frontier. Boeing's proposal included lining the borders with 1,800 high-tech towers that could feed live video to Border Patrol agents carrying wireless hand-held receivers.
The SBInet contract is an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) type contract with a performance period of three years with three one-year options.
"Being selected to support Boeing in this initiative of national significance is a testament to PRO-telligent’s expertise, experience, and talent that we bring to this effort," said Ms. Judy Sebastian, CEO of the Company. "Our team is absolutely committed to making SBInet a success, and we are ready to respond immediately to Boeing in the tasking of this critical solution to enhance our nation's border security system."
