With the acquisition, ManTech gets TranTech’s position on

J. Pedersen said in a statement. “We believe that the acquisition of
TranTech’s employees and capabilities and the ability to deliver services
through the ENCORE II vehicle are consistent with that strategy.”

“As DISA and the U.S. Cyber Command seek to protect and
secure defense networks and information, we see a substantial pipeline of
opportunities to provide a full range of innovative information technology,
networking and cyber solutions through the ENCORE II vehicle and other
contracts,” Louis M. Addeo, TSG group president and chief operating officer, said
in a statement.

“TranTech and
ManTech are a strong fit in terms of culture and capabilities. Our employees
are pleased to join the ManTech family and will benefit from the expanded
professional development opportunities a company of ManTech’s size can offer,”
said TranTech president and CEO TiTi McNeill, in a statement.
