Mind Safety Management, LLC Wins 5 Year Contract Extension
October 5, 2010
Mind Safety Management, LLC's, with headquarters located on Washington Avenue in downtown St. Louis, was notified at the end of September that it was the winner of a $2.66 million contract to provide computer information technology ("IT") support services to the U. S. Treasury Department's - Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The contract, consisting of one base year and four one year options, was the re-compete of an existing contract won by MSM in 2006 to provide IT support to the OCC. This is Mind Safety's third contract with the OCC which, at its completion, will give MSM a total of 10 years at the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
The OCC's activities are predicated on four objectives that support the OCC's mission to ensure a stable and competitive national banking system. The four objectives are: (1) to ensure the safety and soundness of the national banking system; (2) to foster competition by allowing banks to offer new products and services; (3) to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of OCC supervision, including reducing regulatory burden; and (4) to ensure fair and equal access to financial services for all Americans. "We are pleased to help the OCC reach its objectives by providing them MSM's process based management approach that is "best practice" committed, and which manages risk through an iterative process," said Ralph J. Thompson II, COO
The OCC uses computer information technology systems to support a broad range of its functions. These systems are produced through collaboration between the business units whose functions they support, the program management offices that manage the business unit's IT portfolios and the centralized IT organization that is responsible for the technology supporting the IT portfolios. Mind Safety provides subject matter expertise to the OCC's centralized IT organization in helping it to perform its function of insuring safe, reliable, accurate and available information to all departments within the organization.
"It has been a great seven years of growth for MSM, and with organizations like the OCC continuing to show belief in our processes and organization, I know that we can meet any project management opportunity for any organization," said Peter Jones , MSM's CEO.
