Freedom Consulting Group at Strut and Sip 2013

COLUMBIA, MD — (October 17, 2013) — Freedom Consulting Group employee, Amy Caughy, was the guest speaker at the 6^th annual Strut and Sip for Autism fashion show in Annapolis.  This charity event raises money to support Maryland Therapeutic Riding (MTR), which provides different kinds of therapy to children and adults with a wide range of physical, mental and emotional challenges.  This type of therapy has proven to be incredibly effective, and has been instrumental in helping Amy’s daughter, Reilly, overcome some of the challenges she faces as an autistic child.  In the minutes following Amy’s time of sharing about Reilly and how MTR has helped her, the event raised $9,000 in donations.  For the entire evening, the event raised over $60,000 to support MTR.  It was a big night for the Caughy family, who are very passionate about Autism awareness and about MTR.  In addition, FCG employee, Regina Thyberg won a raffle for a pair of 1 carat diamond earrings valued at $3,200, and Norm and Brenda Walters won a dinner for 10 at the Paladar Latin Kitchen during the live auction.  Check out the article in the Capital about the event here.  To learn more about MTR and the incredible work they do go to their website at http://www.horsesthatheal.org/.

Freedom Consulting Group on Winning Team for Award of the Solutions for the Information Technology Enterprise (SITE)

COLUMBIA, MD — (May 26, 2010) — Freedom Consulting Group, LLC is pleased to announce its selection as a partner to two large prime awardees, including Lockheed Martin Corporation, and one small business prime, Red Arch Solutions, Inc., for the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) contract supporting information technology (IT) requirements across the Defense Intelligence Enterprise and the greater Intelligence Community.

The Solutions for the Information Technology Enterprise (SITE) contract is an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract designed to streamline execution, simplify purchase requests, standardize acquisition documentation, improve enterprise program management for customers, provide better reporting capability, improve contracting performance and data integrity and make the Agency’s overall IT acquisition processes more efficient.  Managed by DIA, the contract will also incorporate IT requirements from customers across the Defense Intelligence Enterprise and the Intelligence Community. SITE is the second in a series of DIA Enterprise IDIQ vehicles intended to bring acquisition excellence to the Agency, following DIA’s IDIQ contract vehicle entitled “Solutions for Intelligence Analysis,” awarded in December 2007.

Freedom Consulting Group’s proven achievements in database architecture, systems development and software applications ensure the awardees and DIA a cutting edge approach to efficiency and modernization.  “We see this as an opportunity to use our strengths to further the customer’s goal of peak productivity,” says Dana Gift, CEO.  “Our ongoing work in other areas of the Intelligence Community points to the fact that Freedom Consulting Group is a valuable partner, equipped to respond to the challenges and advantages of today’s technology.”  

The SITE contract will have a ceiling of $6.6 billion over five years. DIA is expecting SITE to facilitate cost efficiencies, innovative technical solutions, and enhanced competitive opportunities for industry. Competition among the listed firms for task orders under the SITE contract vehicle will begin this summer.  The SITE contract vehicle will replace the multiple awards for DIA’s Department of Defense Intelligence Information System (DODIIS) Integration and Engineering Support Contracts (DIESCON3) and replace the Air Force’s longstanding Intelligence Information, Command and Control, Equipment and Enhancements (ICE2) single-award contract vehicle.
