"It's only been a year since Sim-G was acquired by SMS. Winning ESS-V is a huge accomplishment as it was our first large business pursuit since graduating from our 8(a) small business status in January 2010.  We are elated that our first competitive effort as a large business was a success. This is truly a big win for us," said Paul McCaskill, Sim-G's ESS-V Program Manager (PM).

The Electronic Security Systems contract is multi-faceted and will provide the Huntsville Center, a unit of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and their government customers with a wide range of intrusion detection, closed-circuit television, access-control, command and control, utility monitoring and control, fire and life safety, HVAC, and SCADA systems on a global scale. Contractors will be required to provide a wide range of services including surveys, installation planning, procurement, installation, testing, training and lifecycle support for systems provided.  

Supporting the Huntsville Center and Corps of Engineers for the past six years on other projects, Sim-G is excited about and dedicated to the agencies' mission.  Sim-G's team of industry leaders includes another SMS company, WareOnEarth Communications Inc. (WCI), which provides a full range of systems engineering and information assurance capabilities.  

With offices in Huntsville, Ala., Washington, D.C., Reston, Va., Omaha, Neb., and Charleston, S.C., Sim-G expects to be on the forefront of task order competition on this indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract with the ability to win up to $390 million in contract ceiling.
