SAIC Wins Two Nunn-Perry Awards at DOD Mentor-Protégé Conference
April 10, 2006
(SAN DIEGO and MCLEAN, VA) - Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) announced it recently was presented with two U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) awards for Mentor-Protégé Program Excellence. The recognition of SAIC's protégé firms, Arrowhead Contracting, Inc. and Ellis Environmental Group, LC, brings the total number of Nunn-Perry Awards for SAIC to nine.
"SAIC is deeply honored and grateful to be recognized for both the value of our contributions to the growth and success of our protégés, as well as for our contributions to DoD's mission," said Larry Nave, SAIC senior program manager in the sponsoring Engineering and Infrastructure Business Unit.
SAIC has participated in DoD's Mentor-Protégé Program for more than 10 years and has formally mentored over 60 firms, enhancing their capabilities and increasing their participation in government and commercial contracts. SAIC is committed to small business development, leading to significant growth for SAIC's two protégé awardees during the past year.
Arrowhead Contracting, Inc., based in Overland Park, Kan., experienced significant growth in its employment base, gross revenue, and participation in DoD contracts and subcontracts. The SAIC mentor-protégé relationship has strengthened Arrowhead's capabilities, enabling it to become one of DoD's top contractors for force protection and military construction.
In similar fashion, Ellis Environmental Group, LC, based in Newberry, Fla., experienced significant growth in DoD prime contracts and subcontracts, contract backlog, and gross revenue. Ellis is also distinguished for having formed a subsidiary actively delivering engineering and environmental services to meet U.S. military needs in Iraq, Jordan and Afghanistan.
