8(a) Defense Health, IRS and EPA Growth leaders eye recent acquisition of a leading IT services player

Growth leaders identify and evaluate targets and opportunities using multiple sources. One common strategy is to target contract recompetes and those which are potentially vulnerable, with a primary vulnerability being contracts held by companies that have been acquired.  

Shortly after the news of the planned acquisition of a leading 8(a) consultancy, with expertise in delivering complex IT & engineering solutions, the OS AI team fielded a set of requests looking to better understand this organization’s current contracts within certain agencies and capabilities.  

We should note that being acquired does not make a company’s contracts inherently vulnerable as there are many factors in play but included here we do share a few of this group’s expiring contracts and tasks from across the Defense Health Agency (DHA), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that have drawn the most interest.  

Included below are the most viewed expiring contracts and tasks for LinTech Global, who was recently acquired by Digital Intelligence Systems, LLC (DISYS), that are expected to expire in the upcoming months and years.

Dance Lightly. Do know that some of these potential requirements will NOT end up being recompeted at all for any number of reasons (e.g., contract consolidation, extension, cancellation, etc), but this list can serve as a great foundation as you build out your pipeline and evaluate future targets.
