Emergent Awarded Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for Adobe Products

VIENNA, Va., May 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Emergent, an award winning small business and IT solutions provider, today announced it has been awarded a three-year Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The BPA provides DHS a cost effective streamlined procurement mechanism for all Adobe products on Emergent's GSA schedule.  The contract provides access to those Adobe products to all of the DHS components including: Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO), U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP), Citizen and Immigration Services (CIS), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Science and Technology Directorate (S&T), Transportation and Security Administration (TSA), United States Coast Guard (USCG), United States Secret Service (USSS), Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) and the Office of Inspector General (OIG).

"The award is an acknowledgement of Emergent's leadership working with advanced Adobe products and technologies to solve complex and mission critical business challenges," said Greg Christensen, President of Emergent. "We are honored and proud to support the men and women across DHS in support of their mission to secure the United States and preserve our freedoms."

Servicing all the DHS components, this BPA award supports the DHS vision to leverage advanced technologies to communicate efficiently and effectively, both internally and externally while reducing the amount of paper documents and increasing the use of electronic documents.  The BPA will further decrease costs, reduce paperwork and save time eliminating the need for any repetitive, individual purchases and ultimately is a procurement mechanism that works better and costs the U.S. government less.  

Barry Leffew, Vice President, Public Sector Sales at Adobe, adds, "Adobe products and solutions play a key role in all aspects of the public sector, helping simplify the business of government anytime, anywhere and through any medium.  We're excited to work with Emergent in support of this DHS-wide BPA to bring Adobe's entire suite of software to the broad range of DHS components."
