USIS wins federal government screening contract to support ICE

FALLS CHURCH, Va., October 1, 2007 – USIS, the largest provider of security investigation field work services to the U.S. government, has been awarded a contract to conduct background investigation services, as well as periodic reinvestigation services, updates, and upgrade cases, with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) of the Department of Homeland Security.

The Investigative Services Division (ISD) of USIS has been performing the work that has a total potential value of $25 million, which includes a base year period and four additional one-year options.

ISD is already the largest commercial provider of field investigation and support services to the Office of Personnel Management, working under previously announced contracts, and provides security clearance investigation services under a contract with the Department of Homeland Security’s Transportation Security Administration.

“We take our role in the overall security of this nation very seriously,” said Bill Mixon, president of ISD. “USIS has worked hard over the past ten years to establish the largest team of highly trained field investigators in North America as well as develop the best processes and practices at our supporting operation to handle the large volume of services required by these federal government contracts.”
