Concurrent Technologies wins $425M defense contract, retains Johnstown jobs

Concurrent Technologies Corporation of Johnstown will continue to operate the National Defense Center for Energy and Environment (NDCEE), formerly known as the National Defense Center for Environmental Excellence, under a new five-year federal contract. With the $425 million contract, the NDCEE will address high-priority environmental, sustainability, energy, safety, and occupational health requirements for the Department of Defense (DoD), other federal government organizations, and the industrial community. The award will retain CTC jobs and possibly add them.

“Basically, we will retain a significant number of jobs. There is a possibility of new positions, because the scope of work has expanded,” says spokesperson Mary Bevan. The previous funding ceiling for the contract was $350 million.

CTC has been working with DoD and the federal government for almost two decades to reduce environmental impacts and conserve natural resources. CTC supports the development of sustainable technologies. The NDCEE supports two DoD readiness programs targeted at enhancing warfighter well-being and the health and safety of military workplaces. CTC will direct a national team of important defense industry players, including APT Research, Battelle Memorial Institute, Booz Allen Hamilton, Navarro Research and Engineering, Northrop Grumman, Shaw Environmental, Southwest Research Institute, Tetra Tech, and URS along with several other small and large business subcontractors.

CTC won its first contract NDCEE contract in 1991. Bevan says that Johnstown U.S. Congressman John Murtha, who died earlier this year, was “instrumental in helping the firm obtain the original contract,” but added the new contract was won under open competition. CTC has been operating the NDCEE since 1991.
