The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Office of Small and
Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) selected CSC (NYSE: CSC) and
Knight Point Systems to receive the 2012 DHS Mentor-Protégé Team of the
Year award. The award is presented to the mentor-protégé team that
demonstrates teamwork, and the mentor that provides the most effective
developmental support to a protégé. Working with senior DHS management,
the OSDBU solicited nominations from participating mentors to determine
the winner.
“This recognition of our work with Knight Point Systems is a resounding
testament to the success of CSC’s mentor-protégé program and reaffirms
our commitment to small and disadvantaged businesses in the federal
market,” said Dave Zolet, president of CSC’s North American Public
Sector business unit. “CSC appreciates the recognition of this award, as
well as the impressive track record that the Department of Homeland
Security possesses in achieving its small business subcontracting goals.”
Founded in 2005, Knight Point Systems was invited by CSC in 2009 to be
its protégé in the DHS mentor-protégé program based on its demonstrated
delivery excellence. In 2010, the company won CSC’s “Subcontractor of
the Year” award for its technical innovation and visionary approach to
serving its DHS clients on several tasks from the EAGLE contract and the
Stennis Data Center program.
