WASHINGTON, October 29, 2024 (Newswire.com) – Ardent is proud to announce the award notice for the Geospatial Information System (GIS) Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) in support of the Social Security Administration’s (SSA) Office of Security and Emergency Preparedness (OSEP) for Geographic Information System (GIS) Development and Support Services. This marks Ardent’s third vehicle win with the agency and secures the company’s continued support of OSEP’s mission-critical geospatial operations.

Since 2013, Ardent has been a key partner to the SSA, providing advanced geospatial solutions and support. The awarded BPA will extend this relationship through January 2030, with the potential for further expansion into other geospatial work within the SSA.

Ardent’s solution includes an application suite providing comprehensive incident management, geospatial analysis, and real-time data visualization. The suite provides solutions to OSEP, SSA leadership, and other stakeholders, helping manage situations ranging from natural disasters to security threats. The suite includes specialized applications for monitoring severe weather, hurricanes, wildfires, power outages, and other critical infrastructure technologies.

Richard Zareck II, President & CEO of Mission1st Group, Inc./Ardent, expressed his enthusiasm, “This BPA represents not only a continuation of Ardent’s longstanding and mission-focused relationship with SSA, but also a significant strategic victory for the company. This recompete win is a testament to the incredible efforts of our software developers, geospatial analysts, and project management team. We are proud that we have been selected to continue as partners with the Social Security Administration and look forward to many more years to come.”
