The company said Tuesday the contract will advance CBP’s intelligence and data analytics capabilities to counter terrorism and transnational crime.
What Is the Scope of the CBP Award?
Under the contract, MANTECH will provide CBP with analytics and automation capabilities, integrated end-to-end services and threat visualizations to strengthen homeland security while facilitating lawful trade and travel.
The award builds on MANTECH’s partnership with CBP, which began in 2017 and has focused on protecting more than 17,500 miles of U.S. air, land and maritime borders from threats such as terrorism, narcotics smuggling, human trafficking and trade violations.
In 2020, MANTECH secured a $273 million task order under the General Services Administration’s Alliant 2 contract to provide business intelligence support services to CBP’s targeting and analysis systems program directorate.
What Did MANTECH Officials Say About the Contract?
MANTECH CEO Matt Tait said the company continues to advance its capabilities, talent and delivery in support of the homeland security mission.
“We are immensely honored to continue our partnership with CBP, analyzing critical data to deliver the actionable, accurate and relevant intelligence essential to national security,” added Tait, a four-time Wash100 awardee.
Barbara Haines-Parmele, president of MANTECH’s intelligence and homeland security sector, noted that the company’s advanced technologies will help CBP spot irregularities and emerging patterns in its data, enabling the agency to address threats early.
“Our focus is delivering the advanced capabilities that provide a decisive advantage for safeguarding our nation,” she said.
What Other Recent Wins & Moves Has MANTECH Made?
The CBP award adds to MANTECH’s string of national security contract wins this year. In April, the company secured a spot on a potential seven-year, $875 million contract to provide cyber support services to a U.S. intelligence agency. It also won a five-year, $345 million task order for command, control, communications and intelligence and cyber research at Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division. Its subsidiary, Mantech Advanced Systems International, was among the awardees on a $147.9 million Navy contract for aircraft carrier readiness support.
On the leadership side, MANTECH elevated Kristen Summers to chief data and AI officer to guide its data and AI strategy.
In a June Executive Spotlight interview, Gavin Greene, vice president of client solutions for MANTECH’s intelligence and homeland security sector, said the company’s growth strategy rests on three pillars: full-spectrum cyber, data and AI integration, and digital transformation. He noted that AI-driven cyber threats have made preemptive AI security a fast-growing national security category. He also said agentic AI will reshape software development across the intelligence and homeland security community by automating tasks from code generation to testing.
