/EIN News/ -- Johnstown, PA, Oct. 08, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA), Mission Support, Office of the Chief Information Officer, Office of the Chief Information Security Officer has awarded Concurrent Technologies Corporation (CTC) a one-year contract worth up to $3.6 million. This most recent contract covers work on the Federal Emergency Response Official (F/ERO) Accountability Tracking System (ATS), a mobile, electronic validation system used to identify and track personnel during emergency response situations.

It was also helpful in the FEMA response to hurricanes Harvey, Maria, and Irma in Texas, Florida, and Alabama, as well as in the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, where it tracked F/ERO’s going on and off commercial and Navy ships deployed for disaster relief. 

CTC is the prime contractor on this effort and will provide production, sustainment, and integration support for F/ERO ATS, as well as support for FEMA disaster deployment and credential issuing and logistics.

Sheehan, Jr., CTC President and CEO. “Through the years, our technical experts have enhanced F/ERO ATS to build upon their initial research and development.” The multi-disciplinary team working on this effort includes software, systems, and database engineers.
